This year’s festival has a range of options available to suit all requirements and budgets and if you need something a bit more bespoke please get in touch and we will see how we can make this happen for you.
The core festival is a three day experience at Folkestone’s prestigious Burlington Hotel, We can arrange accommodation at the hotel for those who wish to stay there at discounted festival rate. However, non-residential tickets are available for those who live locally or if you would prefer to organise your own accommodation . Folkestone has everything from budget to high end depending on where you wish to rest your head after all the excitement.
In addition we also offer two day only passes. Tickets are also available and open to non attending general public for some workshops and masterclasses at a festival supported reduced fee.
We can also offer residential sharing deals for participating partners. Please have a look at the options available to you, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Free To Community
Folkestone Songwriting Festival Scholarships are funds that have been donated/sponsored by individuals or organisations. and are at the heart of our ethos of inclusivity and social reciprocity thanks to our generous benefactors that have made the festival possible since the beginning though this sponsorship scheme and we are forever grateful.
They are designed to assist those who would otherwise find it difficult to attend due to financial and other barriers to access and to under represented communities and we can offer full and part scholarships but unfortunately it can’t stretch to accommodation. Most meals are included.
