The festival takes place in the local pubs and on the streets of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire from Friday 9th until Sunday 11th May 2014. This is the seventh Holmfirth Festival of Folk and once again most events are free but collections will be taken. The only paid events are the concerts in the Old Bridge function room and the Ceilidh. Tickets were introduced mainly as a means of controlling numbers.

The festival consists of music sessions, concerts, singarounds, folk clubs and workshops in almost all the pubs in Holmfirth.

Line-up

Friday: Capercaillie

Plus: Martin Simpson and Fay Hield, Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, Wizz Jones and Tom Attah, and The Monster Ceilidh Band.
