Grants from the Arts Council England and Sheffield Year of Making have enabled The Folk Forest to expand this year.

Headline acts will include Field Music, Marika Hackman, C Duncan, and Teleman, alongside Sheffield favourites The Big Eyes Family Players, and duo Jim Ghedi and Toby Hay plus many more.

The newly-formed Sheffield Brewery Co-Op will be hosting a beer tent, alongside independent food traders from around Sheffield.

The Folk Forest Fair will also be back featuring a second music stage, an extensive arts & craft market, forest school, new games, theatre and workshops offering opportunities for people to ‘have a go’ with materials like wood, metal and leather.
