We thought if you’re wanting to coordinate with family and friends, having another few days to sort your tickets may be helpful – so we’ll keep early bird pricing open until Friday 6 October.
Tickets are selling well and we’re looking forward to a great Labour weekend – catching up with so many of you and sharing some great music and dance.

We are working on getting the draft programme up over the next few days.
>> This year’s Dance programme is going to have a great range of styles which will include:
- Balfolk Aotearoa with Michael Parmenter and Kate Grace – dance workshops and the Folk Ball
- Helen Stonehouse will be teaching Irish step dancing and ceilidh plus workshop
- Morris dancing this year will be Virgin.
Despite searching for and pricing improved surfaces we still have a concrete surface in the Fletcher Hall, so please do be prepared to wear cushioned soles in the Fletcher Hall for high-impact dance.
>> A new feature of the 2023 festival is the Youth Gathering, featuring a full programme of daytime activities for two age groups, and a dedicated “YG tent” for young folk in the evenings. See the Youth Gathering page under the “Young Folk” tab for details.
