And again, down here in the South West, there is Bude & Stratton Folk Festival, based in the lovely Cornish seaside resort of Bude. May 28th to 31st, there will be people coming from your area I am sure, why not ask if anyone is going to a festival and share a lift? that way you make new friends and get to where you are going with minimal changes en-route, as it were.
The camp site is based at the rugby club, the clubhouse is a venue too so you dont have to even walk very far. Tickets this year are, I think £15. Camping is extra and charged by the Rugby club, not sure of the cost this year, but a very intimate and friendly folk festival, we had several single people last year who all said how welcome and included they had been made.
Cheers, Lucy.
