An early December gift: The Magic Numbers, Brown Horse, Good Habits & more announced for Manchester Folk Festival 2026!

The Magic Numbers, Ren Harvieu, Brown Horse, SupaLung, Charlotte Carpenter and Good Habits will be joining us from 19–21 March 2026.
What’s more, we’re delighted to be partnering with Manchester Jazz Festival, who will present genre-crossing duos Norman & Corrie and ATFK. Brown Wimpenny will make their much-anticipated return as session hosts and Domesday Morris and Pecsaetan Morris join our expanded dance programme.
