We've put together a selection of photos from this year's Sidmouth Folk Festival taken by Kyle Baker, a freelance photographer and film maker based in Sidmouth.

Having started in 1955, this year marks the 69th consecutive year the event has been running.

Today (Friday 11 August) is the final day of Folk Week, and will be capped off with a torchlight procession at 10pm from Glen Road to the Lifeboat Station along the Esplanade followed by a traditional firework display.
