False Lights, and Martin & Eliza Carthy are the first acts to be confirmed for next summer's Beverley Folk Acoustic Roots Festival which takes place for a 33rd year from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th June 2017 returning again to Beverley Racecourse.

Located in the shadow of historic Beverley Minster, Beverley Folk Festival promises 3 nights & 2 days of music, dance, comedy, spoken word, events & workshops for all, craft stalls, Real Ale, camping and more.

Expect over 80 acts in total this year. More artists for Beverley Folk Festival’s 2017 line-up will be announced over the coming weeks. The Summer Sizzler is the best deal currently available, with ticket prices set to rise by the end of summer, so the advice from event organisers is for festival-goers to get them whilst they're hot.

Matt Snowden, voluntary festival chairman, explained, "We know the 2016 festival was only a few weeks away, but we’re already working hard to ensure 2017 will be another hit. To date, we can already confirm living folk legend Martin Carthy and his equally talented daughter Eliza Carthy are set to perform, as well as False Lights, one of the hottest folk rock groups on the scene.

"The Summer Sizzler ticket deal enables you to experience everything the festival has to offer. This year we had over 100 artists and groups performing, from big names like Kate Rusby and Steeleye Span, to some of the best young artists on the festival scene. We want 2017 to be even better, especially as it will take place during Hull’s year as City of Culture - we want to play our part in helping to mark this fantastic opportunity for not just the city, but also Beverley and wider East Riding area."
