So… What can I expect from the festival ’07?

The 2007 event is going to be our BIGGEST festival yet with over 25 arts workshops from the creative to the technical.

Following the success of previous festivals we have been able to attract more artists and bands than ever before, providing an opportunity for you to nurture existing talents or unearth new interests, passions and skills you never knew you had!

Like last year there will be a festival camp site. Youth groups can pitch their tents and soak up the festival atmosphere as we begin the exciting, action packed weekend. Places will be limited to 50 this year - so be quick and book now! For more info click here.
