BROMSGROVE Folk Festival has found a new home at Avoncroft Museum.

The weekend-long festival was previously held at The Bowling Green Inn in Stoke Prior but has now found a bigger home at the well-loved museum.

Bromsgrove Folk Festival organisers have been running the event for more than 30 years, which is described as ‘dedicated to bringing the best in folk, roots and acoustic music, from far and wide.’

Zoe Willems, director of Avoncroft Museum said “The Folk Festival seems like a perfect partnership with Avoncroft Museum – we are both all about telling stories ordinary people can relate to.

“The Folk Festival team are experts in arranging a fabulous line-up of music throughout the weekend.

“The original vision for the Museum in the 1960’s was as a ‘Folk Village’ so there is some historic precedent – but we look forward to bringing it fully up to date with arts, crafts and lots of chances for families to get involved.”

Bob Bignell of the Bromsgrove Folk Festival said: “We are delighted and very excited to be taking Bromsgrove Folk Festival into its fourth decade onto the site of, and in association with Avoncroft Museum of Buildings.

“The possibilities that this collaboration presents are enormous, and we look forward to working with the Museum team to establish a truly unique event in the folk calendar”
