Traditional Music Day 2026

Welcome to Traditional Music Day 2026! Taking place all over Stowmarket on Saturday 19 September (with a free pre-festival session to get you started on Friday 18 September, hosted by Rosewood with early guest arrivals) - get in touch on tmd@eatmt.org.uk if you have any questions before booking.

Please note: events as part of Traditional Music Day happen in multiple venues around Stowmarket - please check your programme to find out where individual events are taking place! You can pick up your tickets, programmes, and any other pre-orders at Stowmarket's United Reformed Church, Ipswich St, Stowmarket IP14 1AD.

Individual event tickets will be available on the door throughout the day, with most priced at £7 - if you're hoping to be at more than two events, a full day ticket will likely work out better value for you.

I'm a volunteer
Volunteers get free access to all daytime events and the folk club, plus half price tickets to the evening concert and/or evening dance - contact Bec, our volunteer coordinator, for details of how to pre-book your evening tickets.

I'm with the morris/display dance groups
For sides and groups booked at the festival: dancers, musicians, fools and beasts get free access to all daytime events and the folk club, 25% off the evening concert, and half price tickets to the evening dance - contact tmd@eatmt.org.uk for details of how to pre-book your evening tickets.
