New festival coming to Chepstow, South Wales, this is year one of the festival, (there's been a couple of smaller events before this, but this is the first big one). Some good names coming, lots on, lots to do, set in beautiful surroundings.


Chepstow is a great town, but then maybe I'm biased about it. Here's some info for you all.

Organised by the Widders morris team from Chepstow.

Here's the blue Clicky thingumummy - Two rivers folk festival

Great big castle in the town, lots of history - http://www.castlewales.com/chepstow.html

Hi Ella who is sooze

Never been to south wales so would love to come if possible.

Any B & B that can be recommended, would love to come but not into camping anymore, plays havoc with the back, I like my creature comforts now ;-))

Three threads running now on this NEW FESTIVAL.

Might be simpler to keep the discussion to This One which has more comments.
Although This one gives a lot of detail in its first message
