Holmfirth Festival of Folk

Holmfirth is a small Pennine town that comes to life during the Festival of Folk. There has been a folk festival in Holmfirth for about 30 years. The Festival committee has been responsible for the last nine years, and the festival has gone from strength to strength. They pride themselves on producing a community-based festival involving schools, local talent, most businesses in the town and, of course, a small army of volunteers. The outcome is minuscule compared to most of the other festivals on the circuit, and it is derived mainly from grants, sponsorships, public collections and, to a far lesser degree, ticket sales.

However, It is an enjoyable event in a pretty little town.
