Bungay Folk festival prepares for its second year
MishraBuilding on the success of its inaugural year, Bungay Folk Festival 2025 is in the traps and ready for the starter's gun. The festival, which takes over the town of Bungay for the weekend of 5-7 Sept is following the same pattern as last year. A wealth of free music and dancing during the daytime and a plethora of exciting workshops to tempt the musically minded.
Clark and ZuppardiEliza Carthy tops the bill this year with a supporting cast of notable folk acts including Mishra, Orchestra of Samples,Tamsin Elliott and Tarek Elazhary, and Sound Tradition. Local acts always feature prominently and we are delighted to welcome back The Castle Singers with a newly composed work by William Drew-Batty.
Bof!More singing delights form the Waveney SHE choir and Heartbeat. We have over 50 different acts on offer so there is much to choose from. There will be French bal / fest-noz with BOF! on the Saturday evening.
We are supported this year by Suffolk County Council, East Suffolk Council, BEBA and Bungay Town Council. As a result we are able to offer a number of free workshops such as yoga, African drumming, Balkan dance, singing the season, have a go melodeon or concertina and a family ceilidh.
