This December why not spend it at the first Great British Folk Festival held at the Butlin's resort in Skegness. See some of the best Folk stars on the scene from past and present. This is a great weekend away and very reasonably priced with 3 nights including accommodation from only £59. There are restaurants, bars, live indoor venues and plenty more going on apart from the music, maybe relax at the spa!
