    THANK YOU everyone for helping make our 2023 festival a success. The music was first rate, the food was good, our volunteers were great and the audience well - brilliant We'll try not to talk about the weather.

    We had a brilliant line up of Volunteers, MC's in Beth Burrows, Maggie Gee and Chris MIlner and  got so much feedback highlighting the high standard of our guest musicians.

    We dined well on the finest Pizza , great Savouries, Cakes ,Fish and Chips and enjoyed locally brewed ale served by our imitable bar tender Boathook Bald.
