 The Trust:

The objects of the Trust, which was formed in 1993, are to preserve and advance public education and appreciation of traditional and contemporary folk music, song, dance and other related traditions, crafts and folk arts as a part of the living heritage.

As the Trust is a charity and the Trustees and organising committee are all volunteers with full time jobs, we are constantly in need of financial and practical help and support. The Trustees and Committee include folk enthusiasts, Borough and Town Councillors and local business people. Donations, sponsorship and other offers of assistance, to help us achieve the above aims, are always welcome.
