Purbeck Valley Folk Festival fills Purbeck Valley Farm, outside Corfe Castle, from Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 August 2027. The organisers call it a small festival on a farm on the Jurassic Coast, and the pitch is simple: loads for children, loads for parents and loads for the old folkies.
The festival runs from Thursday to Sunday, and in past years music on the stages has run from noon until midnight from Friday to Sunday. The 2027 line-up has not been published yet.
Families are well catered for, with a dedicated children’s section, a separate space for teenagers called The Hangout and a Wellbeing Meadow for quieter moments. Camping and glamping are both offered on site.
