What makes us so special?

Well, Purbeck Valley Folk Festival is set on a unique and compact farm arena with professional stages in barns.

It’s a little farm yard so it doesn’t take you ages to walk from one stage to the other, and it’s always easy to find your friends.

And, we’re in the Isle of Purbeck, so camping is in an idyllic landscape with beautiful views. Parts of the campsite look right across to Corfe Castle.
