Bude & Stratton Folk Festival is small, friendly and very welcoming and is now in its 8th year. It is held in the picturesque seaside town of Bude and in nearby Stratton in North Cornwall on the late May Bank Holiday weekend. The Festival has a delightful mix of local and visiting artists and there is also lots of opportunity for festival goers to participate in a variety of workshops, open mike stages, music sessions and 'sing arounds'.
