welcome

Moseley Folk Festival returns to the leafy surroundings of Moseley Park for 2008. And it's worth saying that you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable environment to sit back and listen to some of the finest folk these isles have to offer, boasting a line up that promises to be every bit as good as last year. Featuring a selection of the finest in traditional and contemporary folk music, there's something for all tastes.

Away from the music there's a host of other distractions, not least of which is the park itself. Only 2 miles from the city centre, this lush, green hideaway has remained untouched for the past 100 years, a beautiful reminder of a bygone time. Expect to see Ceilidhs in the dance tent, Morris dancing on the village green, Eco powered kids fairground rides, Seventeenth century storytelling pirates, Extreme knitting, Carrom championships and Music making workshops.

Enjoy the well stocked real ale and scrumpy bar, and our delicious selection of catering this year, including an organic pig roast.

Hope you can make it!
