More than folk music, a community gathering

Don’t miss it, the Bermondsey Folk Festival is back on Saturday 27 September! Join us from 12pm for an afternoon of folk music and dance from around the world.

Bermondsey Folk Festival (BFF) is a community tradition since 2015; it is nestled in the vibrant heart of Bermondsey in South London and has become a cherished fixture on London’s cultural calendar. The free folk music celebration, born of local passion and community spirit, first took to the stage in 2015 and in doing so, planted a seed that would flourish in the years since.

This year’s relaunch is part of a plan to regrow the Bermondsey Folk Festival & to include as many old folk traditions, old and new, as we can.
