Well, Sidmouth Resident, there are fewer international dance display teams than there were when it was "Sidmouth International Festival", but in every other respect it's as good or better than it has ever been.

We, the whole family, have been going sporadically since 1976 and regularly since about 1990.

Bibby, you'll see as wide-spread, comprehensive, and popular/high-profile selection of acts, including most of this years BBC Folk Award nominations in the various categories, as you'll see anywhere and Sidmouth is still the best English festival.
