🎻 FOLK ON THE REC
A Community Folk Music Festival

Gather with friends, family and neighbours for a gentle day of live folk music, fresh air and good company.

Folk on the Rec is a celebration of local grassroots musicians, traditional sounds and simple pleasures — music played on real instruments, shared food, cold drinks, and children dancing on the grass. Set beneath the trees at Old Heath Recreation Ground, it’s a festival made for slowing down and enjoying the moment.

Across the day you’ll find: 🎶 Live folk music & acoustic sets
🍺 A welcoming bar
🍲 Food & drink made with care
🛍️ Local makers & stalls
👨‍👩‍👧 Gentle, family-friendly activities

Bring a blanket, pull up a spot, and let the music carry the afternoon.
