Fringe

We are pleased to offer a number of fringe events at the Swanage Folk Festival. There’s a wide range of sessions for you to enjoy around the town in different locations.

Click on any of the entries below to get more information. At the bottom of this page is a map of the festival locations.

Many of these fringe sessions are free to enjoy (although we welcome donations to cover our costs). Some are ticketed (mainly the workshops).

The Festival is a non profit organisation run by volunteers, if we don’t cover our costs, they’ll be no more festivals! Please bring lots of change to donate on the day.
