Lyme Folk Weekend has been rescheduled for 2021.

The new dates will be August 27 to 30.

A spokesman for Lyme Folk Weekend said: “We are, though, thrilled to say that all the headline acts that we booked have agreed to return next summer, so the festival will look exactly the same as it would have done this August.

“We will be delighted to bring you an amazing line-up for our first four-day festival, kicking off with the brilliant Gigspanner Big Band, followed by Fay Hield and her band, our wonderful patrons Ninebarrow and Friends, and what an amazing finale with the irrepressible Merry Hell.

“If you have bought tickets for this year’s Marine Theatre concerts, then we would dearly love it if you kept them for these rescheduled shows. If you would like to keep your tickets for next year, you don’t need to do anything. All tickets already bought for this year’s shows will be valid for 2021.

“If you would prefer to have a full refund then we will of course be happy to do that. For refunds, if you bought your ticket from our website, please send an email to refunds@lymefolk.com, giving your name and order number. If you bought your tickets on the phone or in person from Lyme Regis Tourist Information Centre, then please call 01297 442138.

“Refunds will be available until August 30. Tickets for the rescheduled shows will be available to buy from September this year, although we cannot guarantee that the prices will remain the same.

“We really hope you will come and join us next year - it’s going to be quite a party.”
