A peoples' festival not unlike Beverley?

I feel the festival may be suffering from its own success ~ the early days had novelty value and the town was suffering from decline until it found a new lease of life from Summer Wine and a tourist area was born.

I still say that the town and its publicans (as is normal) take such events for granted.

Redcar suffered similarly for many years and needed person to lead the move to Saltburn where it was welcomed with open arms

Whatever, I do hope that the spirit returns and that a refocus is put in place as to the 'Aims and Objectives'of staging such an event
bearing in mind the multifacets which go towards making the event successful.
