Broadstairs Folk Week

EVENT INFORMATION

August 9th to 16th 2024, Broadstairs Folk Week is one of the highlights of the Kent cultural calendar, each year attracting thousands to the Thanet coast for seven days of live music and good beer, with the latter courtesy of Shepherd Neame.

Shepherd Neame are delighted to be the principal sponsor for Broadstairs Folk Week from Friday, August 8 to Friday, August 15, 2025. It’s a unique chance to enjoy traditional folk music in a beautiful seaside town, discover new bands, see old favourites and encounter the odd surprise!
