Over the last decade Folk by the Oak has established itself as the essential “only just outside London close to a railway station one day folk music showcase” and this year looks to be no different. The one-day festival is held in the grounds of Hatfield House and has just announced the first three Main Stage Headliners. These are Eliza Carthy & The Wayward Band, The Young’uns, and promoted from the festival’s Acorn Stage a return visit by Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys.
Folk by the Oak will be held on Saturday 15th July, early-bird tickets are available until the end of January 2018 at £33.50 and there’s a sliding scale thereafter up to £45 on the day – should it not have sold out in advance!
