Main Stage
Our four main stage evening concerts in the Town Hall, Wadebridge, starting with a ceilidh on Thurs 24th, bring a wide spectrum of folk-related music to Cornwall, from traditional to contemporary and folk-rock, and a pairing each time of national and local talent.
Alongside the artists playing over the four evenings of the festival, there are two additional main concerts in the Betjeman Centre. Click here for details.
