Get ready, folks! In just over ten weeks time, Shrewsbury Folk Festival will be preparing to open the gates to welcome their 2025 festival goers.

Aside from the brilliant music line-up, this year's workshop programme has lots of new things to try. Sing with the inaugural festival choir, join a laughter workshop, play Shane's Singo Bingo, get some tips at a songwriting clinic, try your hand at foot tapping, or get some inspiration in creative writing workshops.

Tuneworks is back with a comprehensive schedule of individual instrument workshops and sessions for beginners and improvers. The Siskin Folk Club is home to singarounds and tunes sessions, and then there's ukulele and dulcimer experts helping guests to hone their skills. Work on your latest textile project, get to know other solo festival visitors in a host of special meet-ups or, if you want to be active, drop in to yoga, Pilates, park run, one of their festival footsteps walks or one of the many dance workshops.
