Folk on the Quay

*** POSTPONED *** It is hoped this event will take place later this summer once restrictions allow. ***

Folk on the Quay is a free folk festival which is set to take place on Poole’s quayside on 26th June 2021 and features colourful displays of dance accompanied by live music from acoustic acts to lively bands.

Featuring three stages this free event will take over Poole Quay with renowned folk acts, workshops and children’s entertainment.

The Main Stage is of course the biggest stage! It is situated in the middle of the Quay on the roundabout. The road will be closed off so that people can enjoy the outdoor standing concerts and ceilidh dances in the late afternoon.

The Appalachian Stage is located outside the Quay Amusements and has a set of dancing boards laid out in front of the band to enjoy some of the UK’s finest Appalachian step dancing originating from the mountain music of the USA.

Finally the Land Lubbers Stage is along the walkway on The Quay, opposite the Poole Arms and The Portsmouth Hoy and hosts great music throughout the day.

For more information and for a full list of acts please visit the official Folk On The Quay website.

Plus the local pubs will also be joining in the fun offering more music, tasty food and local ales!
