This year, Whitchurch Folk Festival is offering a small number of standalone evening concert tickets — no full festival pass needed, just a great Saturday night out with brilliant live music in two of Whitchurch’s best-loved venues.
Saturday 9 May, 2026
All Hallows Bar opens 7.15pm · Music 8pm
Kris Drever is one of folk’s most celebrated names — an acclaimed Scottish guitarist and songwriter whose warm vocals and virtuoso playing have earned him comparisons to the very best. Joining him is The Rosie Hood Band, a stand-out English vocalist and poetic, socially-conscious songwriter whose music has been called “marvellous” by RnR Magazine.
Tickets for All Hallows — £18 advance / £20 door
Parish Hall Bar opens 7.30pm · Music 8pm
Tarren are a thrilling folk trio from Bristol — boundary-bending, effortlessly accomplished, and impossible to pigeonhole. Joining them is Heather Cartright, a Cumbrian-born singer and guitarist whose blend of delicate fingerstyle playing, original song and traditional Scottish rhythm makes for a quietly unforgettable evening.
Tickets for Parish Hall — £18 advance / £20 door
Two venues. Four artists. One brilliant evening.
Whether you’re a long-time festival-goer or just curious about what folk music actually sounds like in 2025 — these concerts are for you. Come along, have a drink, and hear something you won’t forget.
Whitchurch Folk Festival is an independent community event run entirely by volunteers. Every ticket sold helps us bring great music to this town year after year.
