Festival organisers are delighted to announce that the Forest of Galtres Festival will be going ahead this year over two days on the August Bank Holiday weekend - Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August.

 
The venue will be Crayke, near Easingwold, the place where the Festival was born five years ago, back this year at a larger site. The Festival will start on the Saturday evening with a session in the beer marquee with a BBQ and some fine acoustic music.
 
The main day will be the Sunday with a full programme of entertainment, bands playing on the main stage headlined by The Bluetones, a packed line-up on the acoustic stage, loads of children's activities, a food festival and some catering from the region's best food people, and loads more. The website should be updated in a week or so and details of the programme will start to appear.
 
Do get in touch if you'd like to participate in any way  - whether it's joining the committee, performing at the event, or helping out on the day.
 
The venue for 2010 is likely to be Stillington.
