Dates for 2018 17th - 19th August 2018
put it in your diary now!!

Grove (think Williams F1) near Wantage, Oxfordshire.

Just in case the message hasn't gone the rounds. Though Kate and Dave have run it for 30+ years and need a rest, Jeff & Elaine Gillet have stepped in to organise.
Those who don't know them they are excellent interpreters of mostly Trad and some modern fare.

The festival is in good hands. I would expect similar format. Small cosy festival with a concert or two, workshops, sessions, SAR etc. And a Ceilidh.

Kate and Dave did a fantastic job and we have always loved the White Horse Folk Festival. When they reluctantly said they could no longer run it, we decided it was too good to let it go. With Kate and Dave's blessing and support, we are giving it a go and hope to see many friends back there in 2018.
