Cornwall Folk Festival is a Wadebridge institution now heading into its 54th year. The 2026 festival ran from Thursday 27 to Monday 31 August, with concerts, workshops and a Nos Lowen dance spread across several town venues rather than one enclosed site. The 2026 line-up included Steve Knightley with the Winter Yards Band, Flats & Sharps, True Foxes and Martha Woods, alongside the outdoor FAR Stage.
The organiser has confirmed the 54th festival for 2027 but has not yet published dates. Sign up to the festival’s mailing list for early artist announcements and ticket releases, expected later in the year.
Cornwall Folk Festival has run in Wadebridge every August bank holiday weekend for the last several years, with performances at pubs, halls and outdoor stages across the town rather than on one festival site.
