The best folk festival/cultural event in the Welsh Border area - featuring over 170 hours of entertainment in just one weekend of traditional music, song and dance.
Next year's folk festival will be 7th/8th/9th September 2012.
Some of the most outstanding local, national and international traditional folk festival musicians performing in concert, ceilidhs and displays.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mike Waterson of the Waterson family who has died from cancer aged 70. His last performance was at last year's Bromyard Folk Festival - read his obituary in The Guardian.

"I love Bromyard. It's my favourite festival. Ermm why?..... It's got everything anyone could wish for really, excellent concerts, sessions, dancers, ceilidhs, children's entertainers, friends, beer, cider, coffee, food, stalls, and organisers. It's like a lovely box of chocolates, full of your favourites, and your spoilt for choice really when it comes to deciding what to do next. That's my thoughts on Bromyard :) Thank you and keep up the good work." Sue
