35th Stonehaven Folk Festival

As you explore the festival’s schedule, you’ll discover a world of workshops, sessions, and events that both educate and showcase the spirit of the Stonehaven community and the warmth of our Scottish hospitality.

There’s a wide range of events, many free, throughout the Town over the weekend from main stage concerts in the Town Hall to informal sessions and singarounds in the pubs and around the Harbour. Musically, a wide and diverse range of traditional and contemporary “folk” music and song will be on offer featuring local and International artists. Headliners this year include Manran, Old Blind Dogs and Fiddler’s Bid. There is also a good workshop programme using performers at the festival to share their skills and knowledge.

There are of course some fun things such as the World Paper’n’Comb Championships on Saturday and the Aqua Ceilidh in the Open Air swimming pool on the Sunday morning.

Stonehaven is a picturesque harbour Town situated just 15 miles south of Aberdeen and is easily accessible by bus, rail and road.
