Festival open 12 noon to 11pm - Sunday 24 August 2008 (the bank holiday weekend)

Welcome to the Galtres Festival 2008. We\re delighted to have found a great new venue, as we continue to move the Festival around the ancient Forest of Galtres area - and this year we will be subjecting the good people of Huby to an ordeal of loud music, revelry, beer and cider drinking and family entertainment. We've brought it all forwards about a month - largely because after three fantastic late September Festivals in a row we can't count on the sun showing is face for a fourth time. We also like the idea of positioning the event right in the middle of a Bank Holiday weekend, when no-one needs to worry too much about getting to work with clear head the next day.

Like last year we're keeping it fairly simple - 25 or 30 barrels or so of fine ale and cider, a line-up of acoustic acts and bands in one of the tents, a barbeque outside, a few workshops for the children  - all in all a right good stomp.

If you'd like to come, sign up via the link on the right and we'll send you details of where and when etc. You need to do this even if you've signed up already, as this is a new list for 2008.
