Shepley is a mix of Folk Festival and village carnival.

The village is fully behind the organisers hence the villagers involvement and the childrens events but in every other respect it is a top class folk festival.

The greenfield site has a superb camp site with excellent facilities - plenty of loos and HOT showers.

The performance marquees are roomy and comfortable. Despite last years bad weather there was plenty of shelter for people wanting to escape from the rain.

The beer tent had an all day session running and this year (so I understand) there will be a seperate sing-around tent.

Events in the village hall (a short walk from the main site) are varied with and food and drink available.

I really enjoyed the festival last year and am sad that I won't be able to go this year.
