Built on the folk dance and music scene in Sheffield, this festival aims to showcase local and national talent, with concerts, ceilidhs (on Friday and Saturday), contra and European dances (Saturday), dance displays and folk clubs. There is also the opportunity to learn new skills through workshops, music sessions and singarounds.

Many artists will be performing at several times and venues over the weekend and all of these details will be published in the festival programme. This year's artists include Last Night's Fun, Spiers and Boden, and Steve Tilston. For further concert details, click here.

Kelham Island Industrial Museum is at the heart of the festival. Indoor camping, caravanette hard standing and car parking are all a short walk from the museum.

Many of the festival sessions will take place in pubs very close by. St Phillips Social Club, on Daisy Walk, Netherthorpe, will be the main dance venue for Saturday's dance events and Saturday's ceilidh.

TICKETS: Day and evening tickets are also available, varying in price from £10 - £35 depending on the day / event.
