This years Holmfirth Festival of Folk will be held on 11th, 12th, and 13th May 2007.

There will be lots going on again, including concerts by Chumbawamba, The John Richards Band, Kate Bramley, Emily Druce, Gordon Tyrrall , Brian Peters , The Red Parrots and many many more.
Workshops for all ages, a family Ceilidh led by the Good Egg Band and lots of Morris sides (including the famous Britannia Coconut Dancers from Bacup) are all adding to this great weekend of talent and fun.

Holmfirth, heart of Last of the Summer Wine Country, will also be vibrant and entertaining with the usual lively musician sessions and sing-arounds found in the many pubs and hotels etc throughout the weekend.
Local and nearly local bands; Old Man Pie, The Travelling Billberets and Free Sandwiches will doing their stuff and The Shellback Chorus will be filling the streets and venues with their powerful harmonies.

This is a real village festival amongst some of the most stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Pennines .
The fact that it is village based means that everything (including camping) is only a short stroll away.
The abundance of excellent pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants, take-aways, shops, B&Bs, and of course the festival concert venues etc makes this a very convenient, convivial and easy going festival with a really great friendly atmosphere.
