Proud Sponsors of Leigh Folk Festival – June 2023

Leigh Folk Festival is the UK’s largest free folk festival, taking place within the walls of picturesque Leigh Library Gardens, under the ship-hull shaped domes of 600-year old St Clement’s church and in a host of nearby venues.

Running for 30 years, the festival welcomes tens of thousands of visitors to a majority free-to-attend event that celebrates a broad spectrum of music and performance.

It immerses Leigh-on-Sea over four days in rich and diverse sound, dance, comedy, spoken word, workshops and entertainment for all ages. More than 125 free performances across ten stages and venues are at the festival’s heart, plus a truly special series of intimate ticketed evening concerts, which are not to be missed.
