We’re thrilled to announce our 2026 Priddy Folk Festival lineup!
This year’s Priddy Festival music programme features iconic folk artists, irresistible dance rhythms, eclectic world-folk and gentle traditional harmonies, ensuring a wonderful weekend of music in the beautiful Somerset countryside.
This year’s lineup includes top Irish stars Dervish and the vibrant Celtic quartet Dallahan. Both will certainly have the audience on their feet by the end of their sets!
You can also sample Congolese groovers Kasai Masai, who mix Congolese folk music with soukous dance rhythms, as well as the vocal and instrumental power of the Melrose Quartet.
Other treats include the close harmonies of Irish folk-roots quartet The Henry Girls, bagpiper, fiddler, instrument maker and composer Malin Lewis and the virtuoso duo of Michael McGoldrick and Tim Edey.
We are also very much looking forward to the improvisations of Will Pound and Jenn Butterworth, the evocative and enchanting Firelight Trio and the fabulous, inspired fiddle playing of The English Fiddle Ensemble.
Add in the wonderful Kate Griffin and Ford Collier; Gaz Brookfield; Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell; and the lovely Harbottle and Jonas, and you have the makings of a brilliant weekend!

The Festival runs from the 10th to the 12th of July. So make your plans to be there and buy your tickets now! You can get early bird tickets until February 28th.
