The festival in question was the Cinderford Free Festival. There is no ticket price so I understand admission is indeed free. You would have to check with them how it is funded but I do know they hold fund raisers. I imagine that food/drink franchises would pay to sell their wares. Artists chose to donate their talents for free and once again I do not know how they fund their expenses but CD or MP3 sales and free publicity would be incentives. As well as giving pleasure to other people of course. But I guess some may never understand that.
