December 2018 is when the first Great British Folk Festival was held at the Butlin's resort in Skegness. At the event, attendees were able to see some of the biggest and best folk stars from the scene, both from the past and present. It was a great weekend and because of its success Butlins are hosting another year of the festival. It makes the perfect change from the usual affair that the summer festival is, as you can combine seeing a bunch of great artists and bands with that traditional British seaside summer holiday.
