Sidmouth Folk Festival - Nights out at the Bulverton

The Bulverton is Sidmouth Folk Festival’s late-night hub, keeping the party going until the early hours. Every night from 2nd-9th August, join us for energy-packed evening shows and Late Night Extra (LNE) events, with ceilidhs to keep you dancing all night. Plus, when the show’s all over, head to Betsy’s Lounge to relax and enjoy singarounds, sessions and a wide range of local ales and ciders from the Blackmore Bar team.

Bulverton evening tickets include a concert with a headline act and support, a Late Night Extra (LNE) ceilidh, access to Betsy’s Lounge from 7pm and campfire sessions. It’s a whole night of entertainment!

Ticket prices vary for each event, with a limited number of £10 tickets also available for under 25s. If you fancy coming along every night, you can book a Bulverton all in one ticket which includes camping and all events at the Bulverton venue. Alternatively, if you fancy joining us for longer, click here to explore our full range of season tickets, Ham concerts, pre-festival concerts and camping.
