A glimpse of @owl_light_trio Light Trio's magical set from the Friday concert the New Road Baptist Church. Who recognises this piece of music? A look back at the wonderful Friday night ceilidh with The Oakstone Trio and caller Erin Mansfield. Hot on the heals of a s0ld 0ut Sunday bal at the Festival, there is another chance balfolk dancing on Sun 26 April, this time to fantastic French band @cosmoschocolat4 . And the wonderful Kerry Fletcher is teaching a balfolk session for the first hour. Joyful and compelling tunes and songs played on hurdy gurdy, French bagpipes, fiddle, clarinet, accordion and some home-made instruments. We were ever so pleased to have singer and songwriter @elliegowersmusic with us for our first headline concert of the Festival. What a great evening! Here's the schedule for the final day of the 2026 Oxford Folk Festival! Lots on, including our famed 7-hour English Sesssion Relay at the Wig and Pen. It’ll be a wonderful day, come along! 🪈 In town today, in photos: morris, music, and hail (not pictured!) There’s lots on tomorrow! We’ve got events across town - and on only on Saturday, we have workshops, if you fancy learning a bit more about the guitar, or joining a choir for the day… Here's what's on today, the first day of our festival! Tickets are still onsale on oxfordfolkfest.org.uk, and there's lots of free events happening too - something for everyone! 🎻
