There are ceilidhs Friday and Saturday evenings.
Music lovers are also well catered for with concerts on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoon, with a free folk club Saturday afternoon.

A children’s entertainer, CAMRA bar, food vans and craft stalls plus impromptu, and organised, music sessions add to the atmosphere…..all is needed now is good weather!
