   About Leigh Folk Festival

Now in its 17th year, the largest free folk festival in the UK...

June 26th - 29th, four days of music and
dance by the sea

Thanks to all the performers, dance sides, revellers and, of course, the weather. The LFF 2008 was an amazing success, hailed by many as the best yet - we'd like to make this page a document of a great weekend so if you have any photographs, mp3s or video clips from the festival then please send them our way. Roll on 2009...
