Welcome to Tenby Folk Festival.

The 1st Tenby Folk Festival arrives at the De Valence, Tenby, Pembrokeshire during August Bank Holiday weekend on the 23rd, 24th, 25th August 2008.  The festival intends to showcase the cream of the UK folk and roots scene, mixed among the finest international folk artists available today, to establish Tenby Folk Festival as one of the best Folk Festivals in Wales and perhaps further afield.
 
Growing interest in Celtic roots music shall provide an impetus for the festival to introduce a broad aspect of Celtic based musicians, as well as the more traditional award winning English folk artists.
