We’re incredibly honoured to have been selected as recipients of the Ffern Folk Foundation Grant for 2026. To be chosen from nearly 200 applications, by a Guild we deeply admire, feels profoundly affirming.
With Ffern’s support, we’re excited to work alongside local communities across the West Country to bring forth a new processional giant. We’re excited to share more details on our plans for the project soon.
We’re also delighted to be in such inspiring company. Fellow recipients include Flossy and Boo, the Welsh theatre company. The Black British Folk Collective who will be founding Britain’s first regular folk club for Black and Global Majority people. And Manchester Urban Diggers will be deepening their work in city spaces, cultivating gardens and community-led workshops shaped by the seasonal rhythms of the year. We’re proud to stand alongside these projects and look forward to seeing how each takes root over the coming year.
Our thanks go to the Ffern Folk Foundation and to the Guild who made these selections: Zakia Sewell, Charlie Cooper, Ben Edge, Sam Lee, and Alex Merry.
We’re grateful, too, for the beautiful artwork by Will Powers.
