Set at the head of the incomparable setting of the Langdale Valley, Cumbria, the "Heart" of the Lake District at:-

THE OLD DUNGEON GHYLL HOTEL.

 Two events under the umbrella of the “Langdale Charity Folk Festival” with the fundamental principle that no one gets paid, not even expenses. Let’s be clear– the artists, organisers, stewards all pay for their own travel and accommodation because they love to be part of it!

Now that Mik has stepped down DAVE and MAUREEN will run the May and September Festivals,  they include a wide variety of solo performers/duos/trios/groups from local artists to artists from across the country.

Another unusual feature is that they are FREE FESTIVALS!! money is raised by raffles/auctions and donations and any other way we can find to get money out of you!!.

So far we have raised over £20,250 since 2008!!

Starting Wednesday & Thursday night with sessions then Friday night with a bar concert and an acoustic folk club, Saturday with a bar concert all through the day and evening, an acoustic folk club in the afternoon then the main concert in the dining room for the evening, sunday is the final all day and evening concert in the bar, all the bar concerts end with a session starting about 9pm

 

     The Mike Harding Folk Show - Link A "must listen to" Sunday Show!!
