Folk Festival’s branding hits the right note
In 2026, Ely Folk Festival marks an incredible 40 years as one of the UK’s premier weekend folk events, promising three days packed with outstanding live music and vibrant festivities. Set amidst picturesque surroundings, the festival offers on-site camping, a well-stocked real ale bar, engaging children’s activities, mesmerising morris dancing displays, energetic ceilidhs, hands-on workshops, and welcoming music sessions.
To mark this special anniversary, we have crafted a fresh new look for the festival. The rebrand honours Ely Folk Festival’s rich heritage, featuring a logo that seamlessly weaves together a guitar and the striking silhouette of Ely Cathedral. This new visual identity will help propel the festival confidently into the next 40 years, while continuing to celebrate the spirit and tradition that make Ely Folk Festival so unique.
