THE FOLLY FESTIVAL 2023
7th July - 8th July
The Folly Festival will return in July 2023, and will boast a line up that is sure to thrill all who are lucky enough to attend the intimate village venue, which is situated beneath the towering ruin of historic Cullohill Castle. Music, Comedy & Culture is what our event is all about, and over the course of two magical days in July, we aim to deliver it in spades. Some of the other events taking place over the weekend include a mountain walk, artisan food and craft market, art exhibition, dog show and a vintage car display.
