Programme

The festival starts on Thursday at 8.00 pm with a concert and a ‘folk club’ on site. On Friday evening there is a concert, grand ceilidh/A Chance To Meet… and a ‘folk club’ on site and a Morris procession through the town. The evening concludes with a late night song session. Saturday morning is taken up with various workshops, singarounds, meet-the-artist sessions, concerts and dance displays. In the evening you will be able to choose from two concerts, a ceilidh/A Chance to Meet…, a musical variety concert, plus a late night club session – all on site. Workshops for dedicated dancers will be held all day. There will be a ‘Day’ of Dance being held in the Falcon Ballroom during Saturday, with a bonus workshop on Friday evening. Sunday Morning has a similar pattern to Saturday plus the popular Folk Services in local churches. Sunday afternoon features a song concert and a grand ceilidh/A Chance to Meet… . A variety of children’s events are held during the day on Saturday and Sunday. There will be Morris and other dance displays throughout the weekend – in the town and on site.
The festival concludes with the popular Sunday Evening Concert on the Main Stage and most facilities will remain available – including camping – on Sunday night. All facilities will close at 10am on Monday morning.
NB: Do remember this is a ‘green field’ festival in a beautiful rural location. Facilities are necessarily fairly basic although we make them as effective as possible. Dress accordingly and remember, nothing we can do can alter the vagaries of the British weather.
