A selection of pictures are now online at our Photo Gallery page here.

 If you have uploaded photos online please send the web address to sff10@virtual-shropshire.co.uk and we may add a link from our festival visitors' photo page.

As we're sure you saw, all main stage performances were broadcast live on the internet, and projected onto the large screens in the marquee.

We have copies of all these performances, and over the next month or so will add clips of performances to our YouTube page.

We are also compiling clips of scenes around the festival site and will be adding these soon.

So what does Shrewsbury Folk Festival have to offer?

Most of all we care about our audiences and visitors, we listen and react to their comments and feedback. Of course there will always be financial, licensing, and physical constraints, but wherever possible we seek to make your stay, safe, comfortable and full of, never to be forgotten, happy experiences. An exciting family holiday, a place to make new friends and meet up with old friends, an inclusive friendly atmosphere whether you are an experienced folkie or a complete new comer, whether you come with friends or on your own.

As far as the music is concerned Shrewsbury Folk Festival has a reputation for delivering the very finest acts from the UK and around the world, always searching to find new authentic artists as well as providing a platform for established performers, and never forgetting to add some fun and diversity to our concerts. We try to bring quality in depth, and when you have so many talents on site at one time we get unique situations; artists bringing their fellow performers on stage to share their songs and music. Who can forget Karine Polwart getting up to sing with Chris Wood and then with Mark Erelli in 2009, or the Spooky Men sharing the stage with Show of Hands. The presentation of our artists is very important to us and so we try to give them the best stages, in the best marquees, with the best sound and lighting possible.

When you arrive all of your needs are catered for, a fantastic campsite, where you are never more than a few moments from a venue, where you can save places for friends and have your vehicles next to your tent or caravan. The best set on-site caterers on the folk (or any other) scene, great bars, proper flushing toilets and yes...even more showers this year. On-site WiFi coverage free of charge, loads of events and entertainment for children and young people, workshops for everyone and brilliant sessions both organised and improvised. We provide free buses into town, an excellent on-site shop, a craft fair, a huge free car park, dance displays, Open Mic, and friendly, helpful stewarding teams, who are the envy of all other festivals.
