Your chance to join in.
These are more informal, both scheduled but also impromptu gatherings where people come together to play tunes, sing songs, or tell stories. Sessions can happen almost anywhere on-site and town — in pubs, tents, or on the grass! You can join in or simply enjoy the vibe.
Here is a quick advance look at who will be leading some of the scheduled Sessions that will be at Warwick Folk Festival 2025:
Bowreed
