The best music festival in Britain brings a heady mix of concerts to chapels and churches, village halls and pubs, castles and barns in the glorious northern Yorkshire Dales. And talks; and exhibitions; and guided walks...
In 2010 we hosted top-class classical musicians including Emma Kirkby, Peter Donohoe, Red Priest, the Fitzwilliam String Quartet and Natalie Clein, as well as the prize-winning Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band, saxophonist Snake Davis, Riverdance star Niamh Ni Charra and Reeth Lecturer Brian Sewell.
2011 is shaping up wonderfully, with Northern Sinfonia, the Skampa String Quartet, Alexander Markov, Fretwork, London Concertante, Kathryn Tickell, ZUM, and The Hut People expected, and more big names, emerging stars and local artists in the wings.

14 June: see you next year!
And so the 2010 Festival comes to an
end. We've had more visitors than
ever before; we've had some great
weather (and some not-so-great
weather, it must be admitted); and
there have been many memorable
concerts and events.
Next year's Festival dates are
28 May to 11 June 2011.
Pencil
them in your diary now! We look
forward to seeing you.
