Today. I’m talking to Craig Atkinson and Peter Aldcroft, two of the team that organises the Allen Valleys Folk Festival, about their plans for 2025.
Once again, this festival will offer a diverse range of musical styles, both traditional and progressive, that fall under the broad banner of folk, with ticketed sessions complemented by a number of free events in Allendale, including workshops, spoken word, an open mic, dancing and – of course – the famous Allendale wolf.
There will be a local sale of weekend passes in St Cuthbert’s Church in Allendale between 10am and midday on Saturday the 22nd of March. Any tickets remaining will then be sold from Allendale Co-op.
Online sales will start at 7pm on Sunday the 23rd of March at www.allenvalleysfolkfestival.co.uk.
