What folk music festival in the UK should I go to this year ? I did Between The Trees last year which was great, but this year I'd like to go to a festival with a bigger focus on music workshops. Any recommendations?

Really lovely Thursday night up north in Seaton Sluice - full house and the new songs were so warmly received 🥰 followed by a fabulous walk today on Hadrian's Wall and around the Housesteads Roman fort. I'm seriously falling in love with Northumberland and thankful that playing music gives me the chance to visit new places and meet nice people. Bellingham All Acoustic Music Festival tomorrow where I'm playing Stage 2 at 9pm 👍
