The Cause

Did you know? Leigh Folk Festival is run by Leigh Folk Arts — a self-funded, volunteer-led charity committed to bringing the arts to our community.

For over 30 years, this community event has filled Leigh-on-Sea with vibrant, free entertainment — from music and dance to storytelling and family fun. It celebrates grassroots creativity and the rich culture we share.

But we’re now facing rising costs and a growing funding gap. It takes over £50,000 a year to keep the festival going — and we need urgent support.

Enter our prize draw to win fantastic local prizes — and help us keep the festival free for everyone.

Let’s keep Leigh Folk Festival free and enriching the community.
