Spratton Folk Festival - CANCELLED '10

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
This year's Folk Festival has been cancelled following a meeting about financial support from the Local Council. For those that have already purchased tickets, please contact the ticket vendor who will issue a refund.

After the disappointment that Spratton Folk Festival had to be cancelled this year, the core of that steering committee have formed their own not for profit organisation to stage a similar event for 2011 called the Merry Tom Folk Festival. For more information, click here.
