The Allen Valleys Folk Festival is set to return for another long weekend of music and celebration this autumn.
The dates for this year’s festival are Friday, September 25, Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27.
Organisers say weekend passes will be available at a local sale on March 21 at St Cuthbert’s Church Hall in Allendale from 10am to 12pm.
Adult and youth passes (for ages 12 to 24) will also be available, with online sales beginning at 7pm on March 22 via Gigantic Tickets.
A spokesperson for the festival said: "Hello from the beautiful Allen Valleys.
"We hope you are well and have had a good start to 2026.
The plaintive ‘courl-eee’ call of the curlew returning to Northumberland’s uplands can now be heard locally.
"It is the first sign that spring is on the way for many of us hill-folk."
The festival’s music programme is set to be revealed in March.
Organisers encourage supporters to sign up to the mailing list to be the first to hear this year’s line-up.
A spokesperson said: "Trust us, you’ll want to be the first to see this—make sure you’re signed up and watching your inbox."
