Peace Friendship Reconciliation



Through singing, making music,
and all forms of campaigning performance art

PEACE THROUGH FOLK
is a not-for-profit trust; a collective of like-minded folk who have been making meaningful things happen from 1976 to the present day; using music and the arts to celebrate Peace, Friendship, Reconciliation, Social Justice, and a better, kinder, more sustainable Planet Earth for future generations.


The Folk Gathering last took place at Alstonefield on Friday 14th to Sunday 16th September 2018.  These two videos will bring back many memories; to view please follow the links -
PEACE CONCERT 2018 - the entire concert
and PEACE CONCERT 2018 Final song


Wherever we went throughout the festivals over the following years we kept getting the same request: “When are you going to bring back The Folk Gatherings?"


We all know that we need to pick ourselves up from these bleak times and carry on using the positive power of our music and songs to campaign for Peace, Friendship, Reconciliation, and a better, fairer, kinder world for all. The Peace through Folk team are already planning the next stage in the Peace through Folk journey.


Thank you for your patience.


The next Peace through Folk Gathering will take place on the weekend of 15th to 17th September 2023. It is returning to its original home with the Peace Tent pitched in the grounds of The Manifold Inn, Hulme End, in the Manifold Valley, in the heart of the Peak District, SK17 0EX.


For more information, please go to our new website where you see we already have a great line up, which will be added to.
