Furness Tradition

Welcome to Furness Tradition, we are an organisation run entirely by volunteers promoting folk music and related arts and crafts in South Cumbria. Part of our mission is to keep local music and traditions alive but we also play and promote a wide range of music across different traditions. You can usually find us at The Hope and Anchor pub in Ulverston on Tuesday nights from 8:30 pm where we gather for our weekly session.
Why not come along and enjoy the music.
Or follow us on Facebook

If you support what we do why not consider donating to help us keep traditional music, song, dance, crafts and storytelling alive in Furness?
Every donation helps us to keep bringing people together through folk music and local traditions.
You can donate to us through our dedicated donation page here

Furness Tradition Folk Festival 2026

Well, what a fantastic weekend we all had! The sun shone, the music, dance and story telling flowed and the Makers Market was buzzing.
We must extend a massive thanks to everyone who made our festival such a success. Our sponsors who gave so generously, our volunteers giving of their time and of course, our own team who have worked so hard for months to realise this folk packed weekend.
We’re leaving the festival pages up for now so any visitors to our site can see what we had going on, here’s a few memories from the weekend

More folk goodness planned...

We don’t rest on our laurels here. Even before the festival reached it’s final planning stages we were organising our autumn events.
Coming up we have two wonderful concerts and are in the process of planning for more.
