Durham Folk Festival

After 10 fantastic years in Hartlepool, big changes are in store for 2026! Durham Folk Festival will contain all the wonderful elements from Hartlepool Folk Festival - the singing sessions, workshops, talks and screenings, one-off commissions and special events, and of course the most amazing music - in the spectacular setting of Durham city. The heritage, architecture, picturesque streets and cosy pubs of this small, historic city will create the perfect setting for a fabulous weekend of music, friends and fun.
