Welcome get-together (Friday 2 October 2009)

An ideal opportunity, over light refreshments and a glass of wine, to meet up with old friends or make some new ones particularly if this is your first festival.

The festival continues throughout the long weekend with workshops, displays, teas, suppers, outdoor activities, dances, balls and much much more.
