White Horse Folk Festival
is a small, friendly festival held in Oxfordshire where there is plenty of good singing, quality guests and good company.
We start on Friday evening with a singaround, music session and a late night session. On Saturday & Sunday mornings and Saturday afternoon there are workshops, theme sessions or informal 'Meet the Artists' with festival guests. Lunchtimes bring the Big Sings in The Bell P.H. On the Saturday evening there is a special presentation of "Lest We Forget", an epic multi-media show giving a brief history of England through the words of Rudyard Kipling and the music of Peter Bellamy with Cockersdale, Dave Webber, Anni Fentiman & John Morris. The festival closes on Sunday afternoon after the lunchtime Sing.

we have just added an event to Saturday morning, a local veteran of the Falklands War will be showing over 100 slides that have not been viewed by the public,door takings from this will be donated to SAMA (south atlantic madal assn.)

WHFF is a relaxed and informal weekend, the ideal chance to meet with friends old & new.
