MUSIC FESTIVALS IN SUFFOLK

Folk, roots & world, jazz, pop, classical, family and popular classics - it's all to be found during the annual Snape Proms at the beautiful venue of Snape Maltings on the Suffolk Coast.

Outstanding artists from all around the UK as well as America, Australia, Russia, Germany and South Africa perform in the internationally renowned concert hall.

Folk music and culture is deeply ingrained in Suffolk, and FolkEast Festival celebrates this ancient link like no other. A unique combination of folk music, food and crafts, all “suffused with good vibrations” has won FolkEast it’s place among the UK’s top folk festivals, a position that’s wholeheartedly deserved. This year's line-up puts the spotlight on legendary bands Oysterband and Show of Hands, and offers a range of satellite events, including The Art Arcade where the region's finest artists and craftspeople proffer their wares, along with a number of demonstrations and workshops.

“FolkEast feels more like a very English village fete than a festival” The Guardian.

Maui Waui Festival, now in its 6th year, is a 3-day international festival of music, performance and arts, with a special focus on family-friendly events and kids. With a rather unique line-up, including a mix of accomplished and undiscovered bands from around the globe, this year sees the expansion of the kid’s area, including a themed Pirates Party on 11th and 12th May and packed full of additional activities, including lots to make and do! The good thing is, children 13 years and under are free!
