Cleakheaton festival UK

I've looked at the website

and I know that it's July 3rd - 5th and they've got an assortment of good people booked.
Can anyone tell me what sort of a festival it is?
Is it like Middlewich - one tent with 'big names' concerts and lots of free fringe stuff in pubs and morris displays (and canal-boats);
Or like Whitby & Chippenham - lots of workshops, concerts, dancing, singing, sessions, displays etc. etc. all over the town;
Or like Bromyard - a concert tent, another for more 'traditional' singers, a ceilidh tent, sessions and singarounds.

We go to all of those and enjoy them in different ways.

What are the ceilidhs like at Cleck?

Hi Mo
The best place to keep up with what's happening at Cleckheaton is to visit the website. You could drop me your address details to dave@cleckheatonfolkfestival.org and I'll add you to our mailing list. The line up is almost complete and is posted at www.cleckheatonfolkfestival.org I hope you come and I hope you enjoy. The ceilidh is being re-introduced and we have also planned the return of a Hiring Fair for 2009

To anyone thinking of going to Cleckheaton, I second all that said above. It's a warm, friendly festival with lots of good things to see and do.
