The Den

In 2011, the Folk Festival launched The Den, a brand new stage dedicated to emerging talent.

A partnership between the Cambridge Folk Festival, Hope Street Music, who run Cambridge’s premier acoustic night The Living Room, and BBC Radio 2 Folk Club of the Year, The Magpie’s Nest – The Den is set within a beautiful Indian marquee and decorated to create a quirky, welcoming and intimate space. In addition to booked artists, some 15 minute slots were set aside daily for musicians attending the Festival last year.

The Den is supported by The PRS for Music Foundation who are supporting creativity, new talent, and new folk music at the Festival. Programming also includes five Escalator artists. Escalator Music is the Arts Council England, East’s talent development plan that supports and invests in the best artistic talent in the East and is project managed by Norwich Arts Centre.
