Camp Sites
Tents, camper vans and caravans spaces are provided for camping pass holders only - there are no camping facilities for visitors who are not weekend ticket holders. The camp sites are within the festival site and adjacent to the Marquee venues and close to the town, so a car once parked may be left on the site for the weekend. Camp site opens on the Thursday at 12 noon.
Dogs
Dogs are allowed on the site but NOT in any of the venues.

The festival starts on Friday at 8.00 pm with a concert, a grand ceilidh and a ‘folk club’ on site with a Morris procession through the town at 9.00 pm. The evening concludes with a late night song session at 11.45 pm. 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 musical variety concert, plus a late night club session - all on site. Workshops for dedicated dancers will be held all day, with a ‘Dancers Day of Dance’ being held in the Falcon. 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 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, in the Court Theatre (on-site) and most facilities will remain available - including camping - on Sunday night. All facilities will close at 10 am 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.
Food
There is a large range of food franchises on site which cater for almost all tastes, and in the town centre there are cafes, restaurants and shops.
Craft Market
Exhibitors are high quality craftsmen who produce most of the goods they display. Traditional craftsmen are always welcome to apply for display and sales space - telephone 0777 283 1860 - or email the festival organiser. |
