Love Folk Festival 2020

News

We regret to inform you that Sheelanagig have cancelled their performance at Love Folk Festival on Fri 14 Feb due to ill health.

The Friday line-up at Love Folk Festival has been re-programmed to include BBC Radio 2 award-winning trio The Trials of Cato with support from The Goat Roper Band and Lizzy Hardingham. 

The Atkinson apologises for these unforeseen circumstances which are out of our control.

We look forward to welcoming you to Love Folk Festival.

Our sixth annual Love Folk Festival returns to Southport for a celebration of new, upcoming and traditional folk music. Join us at The Atkinson for the little festival with the big heart and spend the most romantic weekend of the year dancing, singing, drinking, eating and generally loving folk!

This year we welcome The Trials of Cato, The Goat Roper Band, Sheelanagig, Martyn Joseph, Merry Hell, Blair Dunlop, Granny’s Attic and Lucy Farrell & Andrew Waite.
