FolkEast Festival!
Suffolk County Music Service are excited to announce that they will once again be at the FolkEast Festival which this year, will be held at Sotterley Estate, Beccles from 15 – 17 August 2025.
They have created for a free Folksong resource pack, ahead of some singing workshops they are running at the festival. The pack contains four folksongs, three of which have Suffolk connections, all supported by historical background, teaching notes, sheet music/chords and further activities to do with each song.
Suffolk families and the wider school community, can find the pack on their website:
For families planning to come to FolkEast, for either one day or the whole Festival, Suffolk County Music Service is also offering the chance for children to paint a violin, then take it to play as part of the vocal workshops later. The violin will then be theirs to love and play as their gift to supporting music making at home and in school.
