From: Dave the Gnome Our daughter-in-law has asked if we can all go to a festival where it doesn't cost too much, we can camp and there are activities for grandsons aged 3 years and 18 months. Son and D-I-L are not big folkies although they do love ceilidhs. I don't fancy going too far and 3 or 4 hours drive from Manchester would be ideal if possible. Suggestions? DtG |

The camp site is on Kelsall village's playing field, next to the children's playground, and there was a Panic Circus tent with various activities, juggling, wire walking, puppets etc. Family ceilidh one afternoon. Singing for children. Never mind, the 18month old boy will enjoy it more next year. Whitby has family ceilidhs every day (early evening), and other events. Plus the attraction of the beach. |

From: Doug Chadwick Son and D-I-L are not big folkies although they do love ceilidhs You are unlikely to find ceilidhs at either Staithes or Roxby. At Staithes, the seaside is at the bottom of a steep hill and the music sessions take place at the top. DC |
