Priddy Folk Festival

A not for prof­it sum­mer fes­ti­val run by vol­un­teers bring­ing music, dance and visu­al art to the peo­ple of Mendip and beyond.

The annual Priddy Folk Festival dates back to 1991. Each year the Priddy Village Greens are transformed into a cluster of marquees, tents and campsites to put on the biggest music festival in the Mendips. With seven stages of music and dance and a dedicated visual art area, the Festival hosts up to fifty bands and musicians and hundreds of dancers and performers, attracting up to five thousand visitors across the weekend. A not for profit organisation, it is entirely run by volunteers from the village of Priddy and surrounding areas, generating funds for local causes, promoting music and the arts, and improving the environment. After a gap, visual art was reintroduced to the Festival in 2024 by commissioning Libby Bove’s Museum of Roadside Magic to run workshops and performances, as well as along the way fixing a few broken down vehicles! This year we are delighted to host The Caravan Gallery who have already started photographing the village and its people and will be presenting the results as a ‘Postcard of Priddy’ as well as running postcard making and photography workshops over the Festival weekend.
