There will be an extensive programme of street entertainment, appealing to children and adults alike. Acts will be performing throughout the weekend in the town and at the festival site, including Dance Sides featuring a wide variety of folk dance styles (they don’t all like to be called Morris!), Ceilidhs, Workshops and events for the kids.
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. See
