Thread Name: New Sunderland Folk Festival - 27th-29th Aug 2011
Subject: RE: New Sunderland Folk Festival
It's taking place at the National Glass Centre on the north side of the river Wear and at venues in the adjacent St Peter's Campus of the University of Sunderland. I doubt there will be camping, but I have heard that college halls are being negotiated, which should give an inexpensive accommodation option. When I find out more I will post to this thread. Meanwhile bookmark the following link, which contains little information now but should have full details soon. I got early notification through the excellent Phoenix Folk who will be running the music side of things.

By the way, Ray, its the seagulls you have to look out for. They're the size of turkeys.
