A look back at 2018 shows it was a good year for the small Market Town of Beverley.
2018 saw Beverley as a town achieve a number of things, while there were also some great stories in the community. Of course, there was other not so good news too.
The Deer Shed Festival has announced it will offer full weekend adult tickets to its ninth edition at a heavily discounted price of £50 (plus booking fee) for holders of adult full weekend tickets to the cancelled Beverley Folk Festival.
The 2018 Deer Shed line-up may not be designed solely for folk purists, but fantastic folk-influenced acts include: This Is The Kit, Scott Matthews, Rozi Plain, Pictish Trail, Siv Jakobsen, Bryde, The Lost Brothers, Seamus Fogarty, Night Flight, Holy Moly & The Crackers, Morrissey & Marshall, Riley Pearce, Bella Gaffney & Polly Bolton and more.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council are the latest organisation to express their regrets at the collapse of the Beverley Folk Festival which has seen this year’s event cancelled.
The Council who have been keen supporters of the Beverley Folk Festival added they were able to put a stop to the money that was due to be granted to help fund the festival.
Beverley Folk Festival has been cancelled with people who have bought tickets in advanced facing prospect of not getting a refund on their purchases.
The event which has been going for 35 has ceased trading leaving those with advanced tickets out of pocket while the future of the event looks in doubt.
Beverley Folk Festival will once again bring some fun and flare to the streets of Beverley, when Dance Teams from around the country descend on the town for the 35th annual Folk Festival.
Quick-footed performers from Norfolk, Lincoln, Newcastle, Leeds, Coventry, Sheffield and Leeds will stage a range of traditional dances, including Rapper, Sword, Border and Step Clog Morris.
Beverley Garland Dancers will be holding free taster sessions in February as they look to give people a chance to try out Morris dancing.
The group say no experience is needed, they hope people will come along and bring with them some enthusiasm coupled with a desire to have fun and stay fit and try out clog Morris dancing.
