We are pushing the line-up even further in 2012 with great and familiar names as well as some artists that are making big waves on the acoustic music scene. Festival favourites and always top of the wish list, Bellowhead are back (get your bouncing shoes ready!). And keep them on for the return of Edward II and Peatbog Faeries.

We have a raft of really special shows with artists that need no introduction. Donul Lunny (founder of both Planxty & The Bothy Band), plays in a stunning trio with Padraig Rynne & Sylvain Barou. Then the legendary Nic Jones makes an incredible return to the scene and plays a unique show with his son Joe and Piano whizz Belinda O'Holley. Then take a seat for Kathryn Tickell's Northumbrian Voices show that delves deep into the landscape and people of her beloved county.Then look out for something a bit different with breakthrough artists such as the USA's Abigail Washburn and Australian born Emily Barker & the Red Clay Halo.

Even more for the Family as the best just got better  

Introducing "Rainbow" our new drop-in marquee for families on the Showground. This open space offers drop-in activities all day long for children of all ages. If your day just doesn't have time for a visit to the four dedicated Children's venues (and let's face it our programme is pretty busy!), then the Rainbow offers something more flexible and easy.

Cutting & Sticking, Parachute games, music, storytelling and more.....just swing on by!

Our now legendary (and regarded by many as the best on the scene), Children's Festival will be back in all its colourful splendor. So don't worry.....the Rainbow venue is an added extra, not an instead of!

A combination of beautiful settings, village location, great staff, long history, thoughtful booking policy, nice customers, loads of families......the list goes on.We offer more. More venues, more artists, more workshops, more for the family, more street theatre, more variety, more dance and many more hours to relax and enjoy than any other weekend festival.
