Just a few more items of information.
- If you haven’t had a chance to check out the festival bands, Facebooks for ‘Folk Dorset’ and ‘Purbeck Folk Festival’ have vids of some headline acts. We’ll keep updating until the festival.
- For a small music festival, there is an unbelievable range of real ales and ciders in the bar.
- More food choice this year as the festival is a little bigger.
- Local community is running a tea and cakes stall to raise some funds for the church (… any home-made cake donations will be appreciated!).
- Seating is not provided in barns.
- Disabled camping area is close to the music area. Please note it is only available if pre-booked.
- And if it rains, …. NO PROBLEM in the festival area! …. The stages and the bar are in very very large, covered, adjoining barns.
When the festival is over, please let us know your comments either on brief paper questionnaire or by email. This is very important for us!

Thursday night music!
This year we have music on THURSDAY 22 August too. It’ll be informal and in the bar, but for those of you that wish to come and join us early (at a cost of £10 per person for camping) you’ll be able to catch a load of Quinns Quinney and friends before the festival officially starts. Music then continues from Friday LUNCHTIME this year.
Purbeck Rising!
Entries are coming in thick and fast for the new PURBECK RISING! competition. We’ve been blown away by the number and standard of entries. What a great competition this is turning out to be – let alone difficult to judge!
JUST BOOKED – Dannii Nicholls
We’re very lucky to have just confirmed a last minute booking of Brighton songstress . Danni is a fantastic singer-songwriter heavily influenced by her love of American music. Danni is likely to be a gem within the festival.
The Kezbians to lead youth workshops
have been confirmed as leaders of the youth music workshop this year. For any budding young musicians this is going to be wild!
