FolkArts England (FAE) is a national development agency for Folk, Roots and Traditional Music. We are funded by Arts Council England and incorporate The Association of Festival Organisers (AFO).

Our main purpose is to help and encourage people to understand, work with and help develop the folk and acoustic music traditions.

FAE is a flexible organisation, constantly responding to current issues, debate and new legislation affecting projects and events. It is a powerful lobbying force, representing an ever increasing audience.
