Welcome To The Dartmoor Folk Festival

The 42nd Dartmoor Folk Festival took place on the 9th, 10th & 11th August 2019 in the village of South Zeal near Okehampton in Devon. Despite the wind and rain lots of hardy festival goers enjoyed a packed weekend of concerts, ceilidhs, workshops, song and music sessions, children's festival, craft displays, folk service, Dartmoor ramble and much more.
