Overview

In 2026, Cambridge Folk Festival expands across the city with an exciting new format. Working with local venues, promoters and folk clubs, organisers will present a programme of events in multiple locations. Highlights include concerts at Cambridge Corn Exchange on 25–26 July and performances in city venues during July.

Cambridgeshire Music will once again host the Summer School from 27–30 July, with a finale performance on 1 August at Cherry Hinton Hall.  This new approach offers more opportunities for existing fans and invites new audiences to discover the festival.

One of the most celebrated events in the UK summer calendar, Cambridge Folk Festival returns in 2026 with multi-venue, city-wide events, culminating in a 2-day Festival on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 August, at the festivals heart, Cherry Hinton Hall.
