The 2010 FestivalAnother successful, and truly international, festival took place on June 18-20. The publicity following problems with entertainment licences seemed to raise the profile of the festival - proving the old adage 'there's no such thing as bad publicity'.

We have already received a significant amount of positive feedback from audiences, groups and local press and we await the verdict from our partners at RNLI on the financial outcome.

We will be holding early meetings to plan next year's festival, starting with a decision on dates, which will be in the middle of June, but watch this space for precisely when…

As a sign-off to the 2010 festival, we would like to thank all our sponsors, especially Steve Skinner (and Betty), Falmouth Town Council and the BIDS Group, all the groups who supported the festival and everyone who came along to enjoy the sunshine and music.
We look forward to seeing you all next year. We will be meeting over the summer to set dates for next year, which we will announce here as soon as they are agreed.
