The Cause
Did you know? Leigh Folk Festival is organised by Leigh Folk Arts, a self funded, volunteer run arts charity who provide free events, allowing easy access to the arts for all corners of the community.
Leigh Folk festival has been providing much-needed entertainment for local residents and the wider folk community for over three decades. We want to continue to provide a wide range of free music, dance, and spoken word for all ages, including activities aimed at families.
Like many charities, we are facing challenges in fundraising and sharply increasing costs. The annual cost of the festival is in excess of £50,000. We need to raise most of the funds each year and we are currently facing a significant shortfall.
This project successfully funded on 6th July 2023
