Doors open at 4.30pm for 15 minute slot bookings, with music starting at 5pm, entry is free. Tomorrow afternoon is the performance of To Win the Day, a folk-drama by Time & Tide about the Tolpuddle women. Tickets £10, £8 concession or £5 with a festival wristband.
We're all set up for our folkie kids' crafts. Pop in and out any time between 10am and 2pm. Just £5 per child, and they can make a festival headband and bracelet, a morris stick and morris bells to take away. Also, lots of stones to paint and hide around the town. Rock painting and general crafts are free, festival crafts are £1.50 per item, or £5 for all four.
