We were just about ready to announce the great line up for our festival in June and launch early bird tickets.... but you know the rest of the story. We're really sad that due to coronavirus the festival in June this year can no longer go ahead .
But we don't want to give up on 2020 yet. Put a provisional date of 6 September 2020 in your diary. More details to follow in due course once we know more. We really feel for the musicians and artists whose livelihood has been so badly hit. We want do everything we can to support them. We'll re-start our outreach work as soon as it's safe to do so and get our great musicians back to work bringing music to our community. .In the meantime if you've kids at home now, how about entering our Scarecrow Competition? Have a look too at the provisional line up for our 2020 festival - many of our artists have already confirmed they're available on the new date of 6 September. Take a look at the gallery for happy memories of recent festivals and to remind you what's to come when the festival restarts. And don't forget to fill in the contact form further down this page so we can let you know the moment that we can firm up plans and tickets are on sale. Stay healthy, happy and keep your fingers crossed with us for September. Chris & Nicki |

What's in a name?
The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted that we've added "World Music" to our festival name. We think that better describes what our festival is about. We're proud of the our local folk music tradition but World Music has always been a big part of the festival. In fact it all started back n 2014 with the visit of a real live Bavarian oompah band.
In 2020 we've some great music from across the world - Indian music meets Congolese drumming. Fab!
