If you love Folk Week and want it to continue as it is – one of the few remaining festivals held in a town as opposed to in an enclosed green field site, then please support us.
Maybe you’re one of the local people who invite your friends and family down for the week to enjoy the festival and the atmosphere in the town? Find out below the benefits for you and how it helps us sustain the festival.
In 2021, we have updated the benefits for the Friends of Folk Week Benefits to fit in with the new Festival programme and time scale.
The benefits of a strong Friends’ organisation is more than financial – it sends a message to all of our funders that this festival is deeply cared about by the local community, as well as by the thousands of people who come every year from around the world.
According To An Economic Benefit Survey Carried Out In 2012 By Kent County Council, Broadstairs Folk Week Inputs £2.3 Million Pounds Into The Local Economy.
The festival attracts thousands of visitors who spend, spend, spend in the restaurants, pubs and shops.
The festival brings a fantastic line-up of musicians, singers, dancers to the town, using every available venue – you just can’t miss the vibrant atmosphere and party spirit throughout the whole week.
Many of the events are free – to the audience.
