Foolhardy Folk Festival 2026

Bank Holiday Sunday 30th August marks the sixth edition of the independent, artist-led Foolhardy Folk Festival at Nottingham Arboretum, the celebration of music, community and trees personally curated by Beans on Toast, who will open and close the festival with two special live sets.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of Nottingham Arboretum, the one-day gathering has grown into one of the Midlands’ most beloved independent festivals, selling out in recent years and building a reputation for warmth, quality and carefully curated line-ups.
