Gower Folk Festival

The Gower Folk Festival is a small, non-profit, dog-friendly folk music event held over three days at Weobley Castle Farm on the Gower Peninsula, usually on the second weekend in June. The working sheep farm sits on the edge of the tidal salt marshes on the north coast of Gower, with a 14th-century castle at its heart offering panoramic views of the Loughor Estuary towards West Wales. The festival is run by volunteers and offers on-site camping at extra cost.

The programme includes workshops for all levels with guidance from guest artists, free craft activities for children on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, a Sunday morning dog show called “Folk Tails,” and Morris dancing by the local side Sweyn’s Ey. Refreshments are provided by Chris and Emily Mabbett, including real ales from Gower Brewery. Sound engineering is by AVLS.

The festival is presented in partnership with Gower Events and Weobley Castle Farm. Provisional dates for the 2027 edition are 11–13 June.
