What the Folk? Fest at Museum of the Home
Location: 136 Kingsland Road, London, E2 8EA
Organiser: Museum of the Home
From the Museum of the Home website:
"What does folk mean in an urban context today? What threads folk practices together across places and communities? How have these traditions transformed and influenced connection in community, environmental, and cultural spaces?
Join us this June at Museum of the Home to explore tradition, storytelling, and community at What the Folk? Fest!
From Saturday 13 – Sunday 21 June 2026, we will be journeying through an expansive and inclusive celebration of folk traditions, the stories they’ve told through time, and practices that are woven through our homes, cultures, and landscapes.
The programme kicks off with a Folk Fair art market and unfolds into nine days of creative workshops, music shaped by global folk influences, talks and tours through our gardens, and family fun, culminating in a full day of Summer Solstice celebrations".
(One of the events is a talk on 18th June from Dr Matthew Cheeseman (University of Derby and Folklore Society Council Member), titled: Hauntings: English Folk and its Ancestors
