This will help us make the festival better, apply for grants to keep running and see the business we help bring to Holmfirth.
Did you know - from our previous feedback and the footfall counter, we bring an estimated 12,000 visitors to the town on Folk Festival weekend who spend an estimated £250,000 !!!!
This is on local businesses - we don't bring traders into the town (yet) - as long as local businesses continue to support us.
Why come to Holmfirth Festival of Folk?
Holmfirth is a small pennine town which comes to life during the Festival of Folk. There has been a folk festival in Holmfirth for more than 40 years. 2026 will be the 48th! We pride ourselves on producing a community based festival involving schools, local talent, most businesses in the town and, of course, a small band of volunteers. Our income is tiny compared to most festivals on the circuit and comes mainly from sponsorship, grants, public collections and ticket sales.
