Our brilliant new location is The Green Barn Field, Forest Farm, Whitehouse Road, Newport PO30 4LH.

In February about 30 volunteers formed a working party to help prepare the new site for the 2012 festival. More details about this can be found on our March Newsletter. Click here for a map and directions to the new site.

This year's Festival will be even better value for money with ticket prices being held at £55 for an adult weekend ticket and £10 for children between the ages of 5 - 15 (under 5's are free). Camping is £10 per pitch. Click here to buy tickets.

We have a great line up confirmed for this year's Festival. As usual, we have something for everyone. Our headline act this year is Anthony John Clarke, who has recently returned from a hugely successful tour of New Zealand. Gren Bartley is appearing in a guest spot, the wonderful Will Morgan and firm favourites Patty and Ned are also appearing to name but a few. Click here for more details of our guest artists. A programme of events will be available here nearer to the date of the Festival so keep watching this space.

We have the wonderful Sue Bailey organising the children's entertainment again this year. What a fantastic time the kids had last year, there was the storytelling sessions, woodland walks, dressing up ... There will definitely be more fun and games to be had again this year. Click here for more details about Sue.

We also have some great workshops planned. Of course there will be the ever popular Spoons Orchestra, plus singing, songwriting, Morris dancing, Didgeridoo and djembe, 'playing for dancing' workshops and maybe some surprises too. You can rest assured that all the workshops are sure to be great fun.

 

Great news - we have again negotiated special ferry rates for weekend ticket holders. Click here to find out more.

We are very pleased to acknowledge a donation of £250 from Newport Parish Council to help with providing children's facilities this year.
