A free extravaganza of music, morris dancing, traditional giants, carnival and entertainment for everyone.
The 2009 Lammas Festival is sadly over but everyone we have spoken to says it was the best yet and we're delighted to announce that we raised a staggering £1,327.81 for the R.N.L.I. - nearly twice our previous best total!
