They say it's not decided yet. There will an announcement about whatever will happen at the end of this years festival. The directors that spoke said they wanted a music festival not a folk festival and that they would much prefer to be at another location. One of them (an odd person to be involved in Beverley folk festival) was strongly against both 'folk' and 'Beverley'. No one agreed with them, even the youngsters who wanted a rock music tent.

We think there will always be a Beverley folk festival of some kind. There has always been something going on, from the minstrels gathering in Medieval times to the dance groups that danced out for the efdss national day of dance pre the white horse folk club folk festival.
