This is the 21st year of Stonehaven Folk Festival. The hard working committe have done a fantastic job in reaching this milestone. Stonehaven will be buzzing with visitors from all over the world.
Stonehaven Folk Festival Open Air Concert
The high calibre of acts such as Ralph McTell, Peatbog Faeries, Sands Family etc means that tickets for Thursday Saturday and Sunday night Concerts are already sold out.
Most of the local pubs are welcoming musicians this weekend, so all those unable to get tickets for the concerts can still enjoy a wide variety of music. There will be Free Open Air Concert in the Market Square on Saturday 10th July starting at 12 noon. M0re details at www.stonehavenfolkfestival.co.uk/
