White Horse Folk Festival – 13th

Welcome to the

White Horse Folk Festival

13th to 15th August 2027

White Horse Folk Festival takes place in Grove, near Wantage in rural Oxfordshire. It is a small, friendly, and relaxed festival created for folk fans who love making new connections.

An Inclusive Vibe: Everyone is encouraged to play an active part in the weekend’s events rather than just watching from the sidelines.
Daily Music & Singing: Join in with daily music sessions and singarounds
Artist-Led Workshops: Festival artists do more than just perform—they host interactive workshops, concerts, and special presentations.
A Community Feel: Guest musicians and performers join in with the general goings-on all weekend long, making the whole gathering feel less like a formal lineup and more like a massive, weekend-long party.
