Bulverton Nights - Where The Party Is At!

Sidmouth FolkWeek offers many different festival experiences. For those looking for a complete big night out package, The Bulverton is where it's at!
 
The revamped marquee venue, opposite the campsite on the edge of town, is the buzzing dance party hub running throughout the week, kicking off each night from 7pm and running through ?til the early hours. Enjoy music from festival favourites like
Seth Lakeman or Highland party starters Peatbog Faeries in a big party space with great facilities and great sound!
 
The venue offers a brilliant night out with friends - and great value - with a big open welcome to all. The added bonus for people living in Sidmouth is that they don't even have to leave town for their big night out!
 
Get there for early doors sessions to set the mood for the evening from 7pm. Enjoy great food and drink deals - with local ales and cider and tasty meal options. Relax in
Betsy's Lounge, the funky space to hang out with friends and watch the sunset over the hills, or out in the beer garden, before the main show even begins. Make the most of that dancefloor for high-energy evening roots main shows and stay on for lively Late Night Extra ceilidhs, finishing at 1.15am.. But the fun doesn't stop there!
