Event Sites
Given the success of the stage venues, we have decided to retain all of them.
The ‘Trevett stages’ (Millennium Green) will operate in similar vein as this year with acts alternating to ensure continuity of entertainment. We also have the addition of The Children's area this year (see below). South Street will be closing on the Sunday for our big morris dance. We also have a lot more involvement with the towns pubs this year, you will find more bands and music sessions to join in with!
Kids entertainment area
The festival will see a dedicated Children's entertainment area within sight and sound of the Millennium Green. More diverse activities are planned not just to entertain children but to create opportunities for them to engage more fully with Folk festival traditions, including dance and song. This is being run by BearCat Collective. We will also be seeing some story telling! bridportfolkfestival.com/kids-entertainment-area
