The 2005 Gosport & Fareham Easter Festival will take place in Hampshire, England over the Easter weekend, Thursday 24 March to Monday 28 March, 2005 inclusive.

Artistes confirmed so far include Ralph McTell; Show of Hands; Oysterband; The Sharon Shannon Band; Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies; The Eliza Carthy Band; Harvey Andrews; Chris Newman & Maire Ni Chathasaigh; Rod Clements; Eleanor McEvoy; and Country Joe McDonald.

As there'd been rumours that the Festival might not be happening in 2005 we wanted to get in early and assure everyone that it most certainly will be taking place as normal in all our usual venues.
