2008's Festival featured over 40 bands with highlights including great performances by Seth Lakeman, Karine Polwart, Martin Simpson and Andy Cutting, Lisa Mills, Flossie Malavialle, Lucie Diamond and many more and planning will start soon for the 2009 Festival.
The sprawling wooded grounds of The Hawth are the perfect backdrop for the annual Crawley folk festival – a three day family friendly celebration of the best traditional and contemporary music that the folk scene has to offer!
With an indoor theatre, workshop rooms and oodles of outside space, The Hawth’s unique setting means we can do so much more than your average festival!
You can soak up the ambience at the Amphitheatre stage or sample a pint at the bar and enjoy the best small acoustic acts at the foyer stage. If its big names on a big stage you’re after - the main theatre is for you, whilst the intimate Studio setting offers a chance to get up close and personal to some of folk’s most accomplished acts.
Real ale tents, food stands and craft stalls are nestled conveniently between the storytelling tent, dance stage and open air marquee allowing you to weave from one event to the next and adding to the camaraderie and feel-good festival vibe!
Check back here regularly for updates which will be added when confirmed.
Thanks to all artists and visitors to the 2008 Festival, we hope to see you soon!
