The beloved Cambridge Folk Festival is off for 2025, but don’t worry, it will be back in 2026 with exciting plans ahead
Cambridge: The 2025 Cambridge Folk Festival has been cancelled. Organisers made the announcement on January 17. This festival has been a staple since 1965.
It’s a summer favorite for many, held at Cherry Hinton Hall. Over the years, big names like Robert Plant and Joan Baez have graced the stage.
Organisers shared that this decision is part of the festival’s evolution. They want to ensure it thrives for future generations, just like it has for over 60 years.
They understand how much the festival means to fans and the music industry. They’re committed to exploring new opportunities for a fantastic return in 2026.
Feedback from past attendees will be crucial. They also want to hear from new audiences who haven’t attended before. Expect surveys in 2025 to gather thoughts.
In place of the festival, there will be other events in Cambridge. This includes venue concerts and a free outdoor concert at Cherry Hinton Hall in August.
If you bought early bird tickets for 2025, don’t worry. Organisers will reach out to you directly. They’re eager to hear your feedback too.
