Bridport Folk Festival
The Bridport Folk Festival is an annual three-day celebration of folk music and dance. It features dozens of music acts and traditional dance sides across multiple stages in locations such as Millennium Green, Bucky Doo Square and Borough Gardens, and has become a well-loved part of the town’s summer events calendar. The festival also supports local causes, with proceeds going to a number of charities.
