We’re beyond thrilled that our 2025 Main Stage will be closed by international legends and Ivor Novello Award nominees Bear’s Den. Renowned for their anthemic songs, rich with intricate, accomplished musicianship, flowing melodies and engaging lyrics, we know their set will be a Folk by the Oak finale to remember!

“We’ve long been fans of the brilliant Bear’s Den and their uplifting and emotive live shows, and can’t wait to dance the festival to a close with them at Folk by the Oak 2025! – Adam Slough, Festival Director

With many more performers yet to be revealed, 2025 is already shaping up to be another stand-out year, and if you haven’t yet experienced our festival there’s more good news!

Our unique schedule of ‘flip-flopping’ between two stages in one tree-lined arena means you can enjoy every single set, and with Kate Rusby and Fisherman’s Friends already announced you won’t want to miss a single performance at Folk by the Oak this year!
