This is a possibilty, its about an hour and a half from Manchester. Set off early to beat the traffic, spend all day there, go home late - job done! http://www.furnesstradition.org.uk/ The fest is at various venues in the town, but Ulverston is a small market town where you can walk from one side of the town centre to the other in two or three minutes. There is lots of free stuff going on such as pub singing and morris dancers (male & female morris sides) dancing in the streets as well as the organised professionals booked for the Coronation Hall. There is camping available if you need it. We've never camped there as we only live five miles away! Ralph.
