Auckland Folk Festival - at the end of Jan in the Southern Hemisphere sunshine - we have quite a few who return from the UK year regularly for the wonderful friendly atmosphere (it's another single site festival) My all time fave is Waharau - a small 60 person festival (no guest performers, all make your own music) in a DOC hut (department of environment) by the sea nr Miranda Hot Springs, but haven't come across anything similar and small here in the UK. Liked Saddleworth and Holmfirth FF last year, but HATE all the smoky pubs and having to cross busy roads the whole time. F
