Outdoor Stages
THISTLE STAGE (above)
This stage is located opposite the Thistle Hotel. The road will be closed off so that Folk On The Quay can enjoy outdoor standing concerts and ceilidh dances in the late afternoon. This is a large, very solid, high and wide mobile stage, very well-equipped for lighting and sound. Folk Award winners Spiers and Boden and other headliners will perform on this stage.
SHAMBLES
Outside The Lord Nelson and Jolly Sailor, the Shambles provides a covered stage.
MIDDLE STAGE
The Middle Stage is along the walkway on The Quay, opposite the Poole Arms and The Portsmouth Hoy.
CUSTOM HOUSE STAGE
As always on special occasions the Custom House has its stage on their patio
