  • Bio

    Crawley Folk Festival turns 20 this year, and we are celebrating in style with a festival to remember! <br><br> Two decades ago, the first Crawley Folk Festival came about out of a desire to create a small scale festival, reflecting the rich diversity of the modern music scene, mixing up new and established talent. The sprawling Hawth and grounds proved to be the perfect backdrop for this - a relaxed and flexible space where families could get together to soak up the sun, sounds and wonderful atmosphere! Throughout the years we may we may have grown in size, but we have maintained our quality, family friendly ideals and crafted an eclectic and hugely enjoyable event - emerging as one the UK’s premier Folk Festivals. We still pride ourselves on being as affordable and accessible as possible, whilst bringing unrivalled entertainment to the area via ticketed and free events. To encourage musical engagement, we now offer various free workshops throughout the weekend, giving young and old the opportunity to learn new skills through traditional customs. Whilst we can now command headliners such as Seth Lakeman, The Waterboys and Kate Rusby – links with local organisations seek to preserve the festival’s original roots and community spirit. Excellent camping facilities, a dedicated children’s area, traditional festival market, food from around the world, free dance stage and a stand alone beer festival are all very much part of the folk festival picture! The 2010 audience figures were a testament to our growing appeal - over 1500 event tickets were sold, whilst an estimated 5,000 local people came to enjoy the free events staged. The forthcoming 2011 Crawley Folk Festival will be The Hawth’s flagship summer event. From Friday 24 to Sunday 26 June our Main Theatre, Studio, Marquee and Beer Tent stage will be brimming with music from no less than 100 artists!
