Cornwall Folk Festival runs in Wadebridge from Thursday 27 to Monday 31 August 2026. The published schedule starts on Thursday evening, followed by daytime and evening events from Friday to Monday. Performances take place at several town venues rather than on one enclosed festival site.
The 2026 listings include Steve Knightley with the Winter Yards Band, Flats & Sharps, True Foxes, Martha Woods and Gavin Fairhall Lever. The programme also includes the outdoor FAR Stage, individual concerts and a Nos Lowen dance with Skillywidden. Check the running order before choosing a ticket because different artists use different Wadebridge venues.
Visitor information
Dates: Thursday 27 to Monday 31 August 2026.
Venue: Various venues in Wadebridge. The ticket or programme for each session gives the relevant building or stage.
Tickets: The current Cornwall 365 listing starts at £10 for one person’s single-day FAR Stage entry. It lists separate concert tickets and a £105 full-festival ticket, with different terms for younger visitors. Prices and availability can change, so use the organiser’s booking links for the live position.
Planning your day: This is a town-based programme. A festival date does not mean every act performs on every day, and an individual concert ticket does not cover the full five-day schedule.
The organiser publishes programme updates through its own website. Visitors travelling for one artist should check both the venue and start time shortly before departure.
