A mid-winter festival presenting both national and local artists, many of whom perform at one or many of the events taking place over the weekend (notably an Aqua Ceilidh at the Leisure Centre on Sunday morning - with Shallot and caller, Richard Hannah). As well as song and dance, there are also workshops, children's events, and indoor camping available at St Lukes Church.
The line-up has now been published. For full details, including a rough order of play, click here.
Most of the events take place in the Edwardian Town Hall. Workshops take place throughout the weekend. There's a small market selling clothes, books, arts and crafts, musical instruments and CDs, cassettes of festival artistes and others.
Food includes vegetarian dishes, and there are real ales too. The town centre and all-day car parks are within a few minutes walk.
