🎻 You’re Invited to the Swaledale Festival

As the late‑spring light stretches across the Northen Dales and the curlews begin their looping songs, you are warmly invited to join in with this year’s Swaledale Festival — a fortnight of music, stories, craft, and quiet wonder threaded through the valleys of Swaledale and Wensleydale.

From ancient chapels to village greens, from moorland edges to stone‑built halls, the festival brings together musicians, poets, artists, walkers, and wanderers. Expect fiddles and flutes, choirs and chamber groups, local makers, guided rambles, and those small, unforgettable moments when the landscape and the music seem to breathe in time.

Date: May 23rd - June 6th
Where: Venues across Swaledale & Wensleydale
Dress code: Weather‑wise layers and a sense of adventure
Spirit: Communal, curious, and joyfully Dales‑rooted

Come for a concert, stay for a story, linger for a cup of tea with neighbours you haven’t met yet. Whether you’re a long‑time festival friend or arriving for the first time, there’s a seat, a tune, and a welcome waiting for you.
