Leigh Folk Festival

The Leigh Folk festival celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022 within the walls of the picturesque Leigh Library gardens.

The event provided four days of free entertainment including; music, dance, poetry, comedy, food, crafters, workshops and more.

Over 20,000 people were attracted to this year’s event during the four days, with over a hundred artists performing in over a dozen venues.

In September 2021, after the event had stalled for Covid, three garden events took place to raise funds for Leigh Folk Arts , which was known as the ‘garden gatherings’.
