Folk music, food, and community are set to come together in a vibrant summer celebration.

The Falmouth Folk Festival returns for its second year at the Princess Pavilion on Saturday, July 18, with a packed day of music, dancing, and activities.

The free event invites visitors to bring a picnic and enjoy a day of live entertainment, food, and fun.

A spokesman for the festival said: "There will be bric and brac and clothing stalls to support refugees, Nos Lowen dancing, fine food and drink from the Pavilion Cafe and a full day of live music from some of the best folk musicians on the scene.

"The Falmouth (and surrounding Cornwall) folk scene is immense, eclectic, diverse and hugely talented - and this event showcases many different types of folk from local artists, from traditional tunes from Cornwall and across Europe to bluesy Americana, Cornish language song, harmony singing and modern protest music."

Attendees can look forward to a broad mix of styles, from traditional tunes from Cornwall and across Europe to bluesy Americana, Cornish language song, harmony singing and modern protest music.

Performances will take place across two stages, the Victorian Bandstand and the Grotto stage, hidden in the garden cave down the hill towards the beach.

Musicians are performing for the love of their craft, and donations on the day, as well as proceeds from t-shirt and print sales, will go to the acts.

The full line-up includes Bagas Fellyon, Commoner, Dalla Duo, Eddie Brown, Elizabeth Freeborn, Halvaso Habadolya, Hamish and Archie, Isaac I. Ockenden, The Mighty One Night Stand Band, and Julian Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

Also performing are Seamus McKenna, Smokin’ Pilchards, Tammy Adams, and Tealeaf, Tunde and Kath, The Stone Ryders Duo, and Xander, Robin and Lucy.
