The second Folk On The Quay takes place in the Dorset town of Poole and is a FREE access and colourful folk festival happening on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June 2014 with ceilidhs and Morris dancing and concerts on multiple stages in the street overlooking the harbour.

Line-up

The first acts confirmed are Urban Folk Quartet, Sheelanagig, Rory Mcleod With The Familiar Strangers, The Churchfitters, Random Ceilidh Band, and Threepenny Bit.

New for 2014! A fringe venue, the beautiful old Skinner Street Church, hosting Miranda Sykes & Rex Preston, Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker, Ninebarrow, and Tinderbox.

There will be two outdoor stages, one located opposite the Thistle Hotel. The road will be closed off so that Folk On The Quay can enjoy outdoor standing concerts and ceilidh dances in the late afternoon. Another stage is opposite the Poole Arms and The Portsmouth Hoy. Pubs on Poole Quay are entering into the spirit of the festival and will also be scheduling pub gigs. There's also good food (especially fish dishes) and real ale on tap. There will also be a host of Morris acts, childrens activities, workshops, and more.
