- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sun, 23 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Sabden Summer Folklore Festival returns this August with a magical weekend of family fun, community spirit, and folklore-inspired entertainment. The festival is free to attend and is brought to life by a small organising team who plan and coordinate the event, alongside villagers who generously share their talents and skills to perform, create, and help make the weekend happen.

Running throughout, the Scarecrow Trail will once again transform the village with imaginative displays across Sabden. Prizes will be awarded for Best Scarecrow and Best Dressed Window, judged by our panel. This year’s theme is Disney. 

The festival begins on Thursday 20th August with a Folklore Quiz Night at The Pendle Witch, followed on Friday by a whimsical Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at The White Hart.

On Saturday, a colourful fancy dress parade, led by a brass band, makes its way to St Mary’s Hall & Grounds, where visitors can enjoy live music, entertainment, workshops, stalls, food vendors, BBQ, bar, and family attractions. Returning favourites include Punch & Judy and “Sabden Beach”.

Sunday concludes the celebrations with a Sports-Themed Family Fun Day, featuring the ever-popular “It’s a Knockout” on The Holme, plus a BBQ, bar, and doubles competition at Sabden Bowling Club. There is also a guided walk you can take part in on Sunday morning around Pendle Hill. 

The programme is still being finalised, with more attractions and surprises still to be announced, so keep an eye out for updates. If anyone would like to help get involved please contact us. 

It’s set to be a fantastic weekend for all! See you there!
