Once again Alan Bell and his hard working team have been doing their best to live up to their catch phrase of "Simply the Most"

The festival proper runs from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th of September. But not happy with just offering a week-end packed with top line artist and superb fringe events, Alan and his team have arranged many more pre-festival events making it well worth extending your visit and coming along for a full week.
