Can't believe how insane yesterday was! Highlights for us of course were CMAT with her electric set, Dexy's signing us off with Come on Eileen, Matt Bragg & Lindsey Santro over on the Speakers Corner stage, Katherine Priddy, The Staves, Brian Lightening and everyone else making day two really did bring the heat.

Please come prepared for the day, skies are looking cloudy so raincoats may be a must.

Planning your journey to Moseley Folk & Arts Festival?

You're in luck because runs a service directly to the festival site!

🚌 We highly recommend using our local bus services with National Express West Midlands. Their No. 50 route runs from Birmingham City Centre and stops right outside Moseley Park.

🚲 Onsite we also have a free bike rack, which is secure and accessible from the park entrance.

🚃 Coming from further afield? Birmingham's Grand Central Train Station & Birmingham Coach Station are links to most locations across the UK, plus, the No.50 bus stop in the city centre is a short walk away from both hubs.

We highly recommend using other alternatives to driving, as Parking around Moseley Park is challenging with limited parking at the local pay & display car parks.

If you need a place to stay, are offering 25% discounts to all Moseley Folk ticket holders. Check our accommodation page now.

For further details of the weekend, make sure to check through our FAQs. Head tohttps://moseleyfolk.co.uk/faqs/

WE'RE JUST ONE WEEK TO GO 🙌

With just one week to go, we're putting the final touches in place for what's going to be another stunning weekend at Moseley Folk & Arts Festival.

You should all be receiving your dos and don'ts emails this weekend, please read these thoroughly as there have been some minor positive changes.

The weather is looking absolutely beautiful for the weekend, please come prepared with sun hats, suncream etc. Highs of 24 and sun all weekend ☀️

Moseley Folk 2024 ticket sales are outperforming previous years and bucking the current festival trend. It’s very possible Moseley Folk will sell out as we approach the weekend. Saturday is VERY limited. Last chance, go, go, go.

We've added nick cope over on our Speakers Corner, perfect for all the kids, Memorial Band will be hitting the Main Stage, the wonderful George Boomsma and we're beyond excited to reveal Bobby West & The Outsiders as this year's Janice Long Bursary Winner who will be with Saturday.

Plus, we've created a new Moonshine Collective Industry Programme, where we'll be working with a number of universities in Birmingham to support the rising stars within the industry. There will be 4 artists coming from this programme; Ollie Cook, Leah Wilcox, Wooden Dog and Luca Simian. Please give them a huge welcome.

Plus, we have a team supporting our on-site crew with build, stage management, artist liaison, photography and videography. All gaining vital experience to set them up for the job market, post their studies.

We're doing things a little differently this year on-site, Speakers Corner is moving over to Folk On The Slope, meaning a much nicer area and lots more room to watch all of your favourite comedy, artists and talks. We've also introduced The Glade, a wonderful trader's village for you to mooch around in, plus some added crafts and activities with Dead Pixels and High Vis Festival.

We have extremely limited tickets remaining this year, less than two weeks to go, the time is now.

Introducing Beans On Toast 🙌

Essex born folk songwriter ‘Beans on Toast’ is an extremely unique performer. Twisting an age-old genre with a D.I.Y. approach and contemporary concerns has earned him the title of a cult figure who tells it like it is. A festival favourite (he’s played Glastonbury every year since 2005) and a prolific writer and performer. He’s written and recorded 16 albums and he’s played every bar, club, venue, pub, festival, and party you can think of.

He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues. Political protest songs for the modern-day, honest and open Love songs. Songs that will make you laugh, but also make you think with no-holds-barred honesty and quick wit. Described by the Guardian as “Protest songs peppered with optimism”.

Joining Levellers, Flogging Molly, The Scratch, Odie Liegh and more. 💃

Our Story

3rd - 5th September 2021 in Moseley Park, Birmingham UK

Sadly, Moseley Folk & Arts Festival 2020 has been postponed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. To read the full statement please visit: https://www.moseleyfolk.co.uk/postponement-announcement/

Moseley Folk & Arts

The ground slopes down into a natural amphitheatre in front of a stunning lake, with the whole park being home to a huge variety of trees and plants, and a wealth of wildlife. A tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where festival go-ers converge each year for our healthy mix of traditional, contemporary and downright experimental folk and acoustic music!
