Description

The Cambridge Folk Festival ('the festival') is organised by Cambridge City Council. One of the longest running and most prestigious Folk Festivals in the world, the festival is highly regarded at an international level. It prides itself on its high production standards, which it is keen to maintain.

Therefore, quite specific about the sizes of structures that are required for the event. This is to achieve a balance between the needs of optimising cover for the audience, allowing space for access and egress and allowing space for other necessary facilities. A copy of the plan used for the festival in 2019 is included in this Specification for information.
