Press release

For previous years the Wadebridge Folk Festival has always been held over the August Summer Bank Holiday period - but we have brought it forward to this new date to align ourselves with the Celtic Bank Holiday date of August 6th and a European date of August 15th to help promote Cornish Tourism and to encourage more families from those regions to attend our Festival.

We are a new team running this Festival - so we are making it a Celebration of those 40 years of the best in Cornish Folk Music whilst making it a fresh start for ourselves. Also, we are running the Cornwall Folk Festival as a non profit based Community Account made up entirely of volunteers ( including myself) as we are all enthusiastic,
folk fans dedicated to promoting our Cornish culture and heritage.

We are sponsored by Hobgoblin Music, Skinners Brewery, St. Austell Ales, Wadebridge Town Council, North Cornwall Advertiser and further sponsorships would be most gratefully welcomed?

We have name changed the Wadebridge Folk Festival back to its original title of Cornwall Folk Festival and we will be shortly updating our website> to explain all these new changes.

In the meantime should anybody wish to contact or discuss matters with me, please contact Mike Walford - Festival Organiser Home telephone 01637 880604 eMail email
