The Beverley and East Riding Folk Festival Is set in the historic market town of Beverley, nestled in the stunning East Riding of Yorkshire making it a wonderfully exciting place to be in June every year. Many of the events take place at ‘The Festival Village’ green field site situated in the grounds of the Leisure Complex, in the shadow of the historic Beverley Minister. Other events take place inside the Leisure Complex such as the main headline concerts. Now entering its 27th year, the Festival is bigger than before with the addition of 2 new marquees to the Festival Village in 2009 - Acoustic and Concert bringing the marquee total to 4 offering a weekend FULL of music, activities for all ages, Family and Youth events, workshops and children’s events plus non-stop performances at the Late Night Festival Club.
