Now in it's 4th year this festival starts at 6.30pm on Friday evening and finishes around 11pm on Sunday, promising a plethora of performance with over 40 acts across 2 stages. The organisers are hoping to avoid overlaps on the two main stages and hope to offer the opportunity to see all of the performances over the weekend.

Performers include Transglobal Underground, Ustad Mahwash and Ensemble Kaboul, the Mighty Zulu Nation, Martin Simpson and Spencer Bohren, Charanga Del Norte, The Old Rope String Band and Talisman.

There will be an adult workshop programme running throughout the weekend and numerous stalls selling musical instruments, crafts and so forth as well as information stalls on issues of global interest.

There is a separate sessional charge for the childrens festival events (around £2 for 3 hour session) as there will be a range of artists working specifically on the childrens festival stage.

It seems advisable to book early for this festival as even now there are said to be only 150 weekend tickets left.
