Entry: Suggested voluntary contributions to cover costs and fundraise the School: Family: £10; Adults £5; Children: £2.50; Under 3s: free. See: www.facebook.com/stokegabrielwassail.

Welcome to South Brent Folk.

Based in the Devon village of South Brent on the southern tip of Dartmoor we host folk concerts, an annual Folk Day, workshops, ceilidhs and other events through the year.

Our aim is to promote folk music song and dance in South Brent, providing opportunities for top class folk acts to come to South Brent and be seen and heard by local residents, at the same time attracting folk from outside the village.

If you would be interested in joining our organising committee or helping at events, please do get in touch with us by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
