Music

The musical entertainment at the Festival justifies the ticket price on its own. Throughout each day in the Richard Whiteley Pavilion, with a break only for the speakers, trad jazz alternates with Dales brass bands. Yorkshire is famous for its brass band tradition, maintained at a high standard by the bands from Muker, Reeth and Leyburn.

On Sunday and Monday, there will be performances by local morris dancers and on Saturday sword dancers will take to the floor!

Times of all performances to be published.
