Surrey’s World Folk Festival Has Two Very Different Start Times

A Surrey family planning both days of World Folk Festival 2026 should not assume the same afternoon schedule twice. Saturday begins at 1:30 p.m.; Sunday starts three hours later at 4:30 p.m. That difference is the first detail to put in the calendar for the October 10–11 event at Bell Performing Arts Centre.

Presented by the International Punjabi Folk Arts Society, the two-day programme advertises Bhangra, Jhoomer, Luddi and Gidha. That list gives audiences a useful sense of the range within Punjabi folk performance, but it is not a running order: the venue page does not assign a particular form or team to either day.

Bell Performing Arts Centre displays a CAD25–35 ticket range and says applicable taxes and fees are included. The range is a planning figure, not a promise that every ticket category will remain available, so families arranging a group outing should check current inventory before settling on a budget.

One entry rule deserves particular attention when booking for children: every patron over one year old needs a ticket to enter the auditorium. The venue also states that tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged. If a performance is rescheduled, valid tickets or refunds are handled according to the promoter’s stated discretion.

This guide complements Punjabi Mania’s earlier coverage of girls and younger teams by answering the practical question of how to attend. Choose the date that fits the household, account for the three-hour difference between starts and check the venue’s current ticket information before finalising plans.
