On Saturday there will be a concert in the historic Saracen’s Head Hotel courtyard, and on Sunday there will be music in the main Market Square on King Street, which will be closed to traffic during the day on Saturday for mass dance displays and street entertainment, and on Sunday for a Continental Market.

A variety of music and dance will feature in three other characterful pubs - The Old Coach House, The Hearty Goodfellow (fabulous pub garden) and The Bramley Apple. Please see the Schedule for details.
Southwell Minster will be the atmospheric stage for a lunchtime concert on Friday (arrive early if you can) and the fascinating National Trust Workhouse will again host a variety of workshops and dance displays.

Picturesque Southwell is an historic town with many interesting buildings, a heritage trail and excellent eateries and is well worth the short ten minute walk from the festival site.
