This year our hub on Saturday is at Todmorden College on Burnley Road. This will house the ticket office from 10am until 5pm alongside Concerts, Craft Fair and a Café. This is the perfect place to arrange to meet friends and entry to everything apart from the afternoon concert is FREE. The Craft Fair is a showcase for many talented local craft businesses and is the perfect place to browse and pick up presents or even treat yourself! In between all this activity you can relax with a cuppa and a cake in our Festival café, or buy a brew to take outside with you to watch the dancers. This year, back by popular demand, we have our specially commissioned Scrumpy Cider Sausage from Nick Fielden, Family Butchers on the indoor market – so our menu will feature sausage baps, sausage and mash

Folk Customs of the Borderlands Roger Kennington (dancer, singer and folklore enthusiast) and Peter Brears (historian, broadcaster and award-winning author) have been exploring the customs of Calderdale and

around. This is what they found. They will be joined by Oakenhoof, so expect dancing, singing, stories and snacks.

To accompany this event...

...we are delighted to offer this beautiful, fully illustrated little book looking at the past customs of Calderdale. Written by local Historian, Peter Brears, the book is available to buy from the Tourist Infomation Office, around the festival and from our website - www.todfolkfest.co.uk To find out more, meet the author and have your book copy signed, head along to the “Folk Customs of the Borderlands” event in the Masonic Hall on Saturday morning.
