If you like to be at the heart of the action, but can't face putting a tent up, we've got good news! We're working with The Glamping Group this year, who'll be providing a limited number of boutique bell tents on the festival campsite. You'll be able to rock up and find your tent ready waiting for you. Plus, there are lots of upgrade options available if you'd like to add a touch of luxury to your trip.

Glamping is available for all 4 nights of the festival (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). You'll still need to book your festival ticket separately, but there's no need to book a camping ticket from us - just book your glamping from The Glamping Group at the link in the comments, and you'll be all sorted. 🏕🎶

Glasgow-based singer and guitarist Alasdair Roberts is acclaimed as "one of our most talented, important and relevant songwriters and song-adapters" (KLOF Mag). Alasdair's work alternates between his own idiosyncratic and evocative compositions, and fresh interpretations of traditional songs and ballads. This year, he's busy touring his latest solo album, "Grief in the Kitchen and Mirth in the Hall" - a collection of twelve traditional songs and ballads from Scotland and beyond, delivered in his own inimitable style.

Alongside his solo career, Alasdair plays with The Furrow Collective, Current 93 and Green Ribbons, and has toured extensively across the UK and worldwide. We can't wait to welcome him to Saltburn this summer, where he'll be performing both solo and with The Furrow Collective. Head to our website to see who else is coming to Saltburn this summer!

With her poetic songwriting and crystal-clear vocals, Lucy Farrell has carved out a unique niche on the contemporary folk scene. The BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner is not only renowned as a composer and singer, but also as a viola, fiddle and tenor guitar player (is there anything she can't do?!)

Alongside her solo work, Lucy has played in duos with Andrew Waite and Jonny Kearney, as well as performing with the likes of Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band, The Furrow Collective, and Carthy, Oates, Farrell & Young.

At this year's festival, you can catch Lucy solo and with The Furrow Collective, so we're in for a real treat! Head to our website for the full line-up, and start planning your summer festival today ☀️🎶

Singer, harpist and composer Rachel Newton draws on poems, ballads and stories that are hundreds of years old, working them into her contemporary compositional style to create a rich sound that is ambitious, original and unique.

Rachel was named Musician of the Year at both the Scots Trad Music Awards and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In addition to her solo work, she's also a sought-after collaborator, and you might have seen her with Spell Songs, from The Lost Words, Heal & Harrow, and The Furrow Collective.

As Rachel prepares to leave The Furrow Collective later this year, her very last gig with the band will be right here at Saltburn Folk Festival. Trust us, you don't want to miss this! 🪉🎶
