FolkEast is about coming together for three days to fill your boots with music, food, ale, art, family and friends on Suffolk's Sotterley Estate. With space to breathe and room to roam, discover a place where time stands still and memories are nourished.
It’s 11am and it’s announcement time! First wave of acts with many more to come in January! Our early bird tickets have sold out, but as it’s Christmas we’re going to extend the early bird price until twelfth night (Jan 5th) on a limited number of weekend tickets.. find them in the usual place!

It’s NEARLY September and the festival year is almost behind us.. but never fear as we’re returning with the eighth, yes EIGHTH, season of the Blaxhall Sessions.. Kicking off with @tarrenmusic on September 19th Visit the website for all festival and Blaxhall sessions tickets
We’re all packed up.. time for a rest! We will be sending out the feedback survey tomorrow (we’ll post it here too!) as well as sharing many more memories throughout the next few weeks.. plus maybe a bit of news 😉 But for now.. it’s bedtime! Thanks you again to everyone that came and joined us.
We’re doing it again! After a rollercoaster of a year.. we sold out of Super Early Bird tickets on site so we have decided to bring our early birds forward so people can still catch the worm! Thank you to everyone that continues to support this event. folkeast.co.uk/tickets-4/
With the site pack down well underway we wanted to shine a light on our crew, volunteers and suppliers that worked tirelessly to help bring the new site to life… let’s just say this was not an easy task.. so to all the people that make this happen.. we really can’t thank you enough.
Thankyou, @folkeast.bsky.social , you're the best! Just what we all needed to keep us all going. A load of excellent music, dance and folk arts all in one field all weekend.
Some Saturday highlights for ya! Be sure to check out the Les Cousins special anniversary takeover in the barn..
One week to go and some old glemham hall pals are showing up to lend a hand! Loads and loads still to do.. new site means loads of decisions! 😬.. but we can’t wait to welcome y’all next week! #folkeast
