East Anglia’s fast-rising “new kid on the block” festival FolkEast is back for a fifth year this August, proving why it is nothing like other music festivals. The three day festival will return to the glorious 300-acre Suffolk estate of 16th century Glemham Hall, the home of Major Philip Hope-Cobbold, between
August 19-21. It will be packing a punch with no less than seven 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards nominees and three powerhouse band headliners.
Some festivals are much like the next. Mirror headliners and nothing to denote where in the country you are once you’re inside the gates. Not FolkEast. True exponents of ‘the road less travelled’ it showcases not just great folk performers but also Suffolk itself, giving a real sense of place.
On board this year as a media partner will be BBC Radio Suffolk who have chosen FolkEast as their Suffolk festival for 2016. They will have an on-site presence throughout the three days.
