A message from the festival’s director Dr Joan Royle:
‘It was with great sadness that we had to cancel the 2020 Festival, but here we are in 2021 with great hope that the 2021 festival will go ahead as planned. We have been awarded an Arts Council grant, which is a fantastic tribute to the work of the Festival committee. Our kind sponsors are continuing to give their support, and I do hope you will be able to enjoy the 2021 Festival even more than usual. We have all missed live performance; with our small venues, fresh country air and ability to be versatile we feel confident that we can host these performances safely. We look forward to seeing you at one or more of the events'
