Bridport Folk Festival - July 29th-31st 2022
BearCat Craft Tent & SwapShop
"Following it’s success, Bridport Folk Festival has been accepted by the Town and as always, Bridport rose to the occasions.
We enjoyed a wonderful influx of visitors who wished us well , contributed in cash and kind and generally embraced what we offered in a positive and appreciative manner.
Many people likening it to Sidmouth for it's warmth and hospitality, “the most friendly festival we’ve been to in years" ... “Well organized and a comprehensive programme!“ ... “Well done Bridport!“ ... “it took similar festivals years to reach the point where you started!" These comments, probably made in the excitement of a new Festival, were however much appreciated and warmly received.
Complacency doesn’t make a Festival better though. Picking up on the basic errors and addressing shortfalls makes a better Festival and that is a lesson we are learning, and learning fast!"
