The festival that’s not down-sized, but right-sized – Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, closes its doors on 2026, so we park our sunglasses for a visual reminder of, yet again, another festival to remember, as this years line up graces what The Haar’s Cormac Byrne calls “the Pyramid Stage of the folk world.”

Friday brings folk of the future with the Cropredy Primary gang, some Celtics and World Champions; Breabach and Bradley; MGWs, spooky men and the blistering RT & friends.

You can read our extensive reviews of day one here, day two here and day three here.
