The Concert Venue will be at the Festival Arena in the Memorial Recreation Ground, next to Broadstairs train station. This is where all the headline acts appear. The venue itself is a concert tent with a festival bar and food stalls in the park. A twenty minute walk away is the Festival Campsite, located at a local school – and one of the benefits of coming to this chalky corner of East Kent is that the fields are free-draining – so no Glastonbury style mud in Broadstairs! There are on-site loos, showers, catering and some of the festival workshops are on-site at the Festival Hub Tent. Conveniently located between the campsite and the Festival Arena is our new Folk Week Dance venue at the lovely Sarah Thorne Theatre. You could spend all your time here just dancing! Overlooking the beach on the clifftop Victoria Gardens, is our Craft and Music Fair selling a huge variety of ceramics, clothing, musical instruments, paintings, jewellery and gifts and is free entry. The Festival bar the Jack Hamilton is located here, sponsored by Shepherd Neame, run by volunteers and a great place to catch up with festival friends. And next door is the bandstand, a totally free venue which hosts the ever-popular Hobby Horse Club with the madcap Hooden Horses and Clarence the Dragon, as well as Morris dance displays and music every evening.
