This is a popular folk festival 16 miles north west of Dumfries. Weekend tickets are £40 or £30 concession (over 65) this includes entry into the Marquee and camping for the weekend, or camping only £10 per person for the weekend. There is music in both the village pubs and also an outdoor stage as well as the Marquee. For more information have a look on the Moniave Folk Festival website. I thought it would be a good follow on meet for anyone coming up North for Kirkby Lonsdale Beer Festival. Do you fancy it Firefox or Penny and Ron or anyone else?

Yes, me. Might have to come back for the election and go back up Friday, though. Are you buying a ticket Mary?

Leaving later tonight....fingers crossed. Cool - they are advising people to park in the Station Yard at the back of the field because rain is forecast and the field is likely to be very boggy and motorhomes will get stuck. At the moment, Penny, Ron, wvw and me here in the yard.

Great value festival - really enjoyed this one and will try to make in future. Paid £40 and got *4 nights camping + portaloos and water *Main gig with Paddy Callaghan Trio, Chris Wood, and the Shee. All top artists *Lots of other gigs with Bill Lloyd, The Shambles Band, and 4Square - also top performers *More other free gigs and activities than you could shake a stick at *Violin workshop with Shona Mooney from the Shee *Two free meals/buffets. Veg Chilli and chips on Sat Eve 10.30 and Pork/Coq au Vin, Chilli, potatoes, and veg on Sunday at 5.00pm. Help yourself full roast dinner stuff. *Raucous "survivor's session" with Paddy Callaghan and the Shambles band (play along stuff) - I had a go on the tin whistle! Attachment DeletedThe Shambles Band Alternatively you can just pay £10 for camping and go to the many free gigs. Thanks at marymc for the heads up on this festie. Went along with wvw and nice to meet up with Penny, Ron, Mary, Alec, Bill, and Margaret from this forum as well as meeting many other new friends there. A few FMUK cards given out!

Never mind Vern you will soon be at home again on the £40 rounds. I'm saving up for the next meet which looks like Rutland at the moment. .... Tom ....
