3 stages around the village
Kimpton Folk Festival 2024 features some of the finest folk acts in the UK on 3 separate stages around the village.
Ticketed concerts are in the Memorial Hall (The Di King Stage) and our glorious twelfth century Church of St Peter & St Paul, while the Village Green hosts a free stage, a range of food and drink stalls and plenty of room for you to set up your ‘camp’ for the day.
