Folk Fest: a place of “peace and harmony” with the same atmosphere of a village fete. There is a constant comfort of mellow music and the “coming together” of fifty-three Scout, Explorer, and Girlguide groups. Folk fest is home to groups from far and wide including; Scotland, America, and Wales, but of course there are several English groups too. 

 The Folk Fest team members are welcoming and friendly, having planned many activities for the lucky members of Folk Fest to attend. On Sunday there was a Scarecrow Festival featuring the Dress your Leader as a Scarecrow Competition. Tonight’s activity will include a Ceilidh, translated as “social visit” and involves traditional Scottish dancing to Gaelic folk music. On Tuesday the Folk ‘n’ Joke Comedy Night had everyone roaring with laughter. Other evening entertainment has included a dance competition, Kara’folk’e and a Campfire Night. On Friday there will be a Village Feta and Picnic.

 Activities aren’t just for the evenings. Every morning at 7:15 the team have been running a morning exercise session. On Sunday Folk Fest had a fun run and Monday morning there was a ‘let’s get folk’sical’ which included some aerobic exercises, like star jumps, and some stretches. Let’s not forget there are crafts every afternoon in the main Folk Fest marquee
