IVFDF is the Inter Varsity Folk Dance Festival – The country’s longest continually running folk festival.

We warmly welcome folkies and folk appreciators from around the globe and we really hope you’ll be there too! The Festival is particularly aimed at students, but it is open to everyone. Over the years we’ve enjoyed a wide range of dances and ceilidhs including Scottish Country, Highland, Morris, Rapper Sword, Irish, and French and many, many, more.

If you’re up for a weekend of dancing, concerts, and over 40 music and dance workshops then we’ll see you at Exeter University on 27th February – 1st March 2015.

Exeter University Folk Society are veteran hosts of IVFDF and can always be counted on to run an epic weekend. The society is also celebrating it’s 60th anniversary this year.
