WHERE

The Leigh Folk Festival is a free, open event, held at several venues in the town of Leigh-on-sea, which is situated along the Thames Estuary just outside of Southend. The festival is centred around Library Gardens on Broadway West and surrounding venues, cafes, churches and outdoor spaces with music and performances happening across Leigh, north of the railway line, (from Leigh Station, walk up Belton Way, along Rectory Grove and then take the right fork into Broadway West. You’ll find the Library Gardens on your right after 200 yards.)
