About

Folk in the Library brings a joyful, genre-blurring daytime festival to Exeter Library, celebrating some of the South Wests most exciting folk and folk-inspired artists. Expect haunting ballads, myth-soaked storytelling, indie-infused anthems and boundary pushing contemporary folk... all for free, at Exeter Library

Across two stages, 12 acts will perform from 1pm6pm, bringing together award-winning artists and rising local talent for an afternoon of music that ranges from traditional roots to bold modern interpretations.

The full line-up is below, with featured artists include Jon Fazal, Cloud, Iris, GIRLHOOD, The Other Woman, and Anna Anise. As well as storytelling from Henry Everett. A gorgeous mix of nationally well-know acts and local emerging artists, all from across the South West.

This is a free, family-friendly festival open to anyone
