This year's Chippenham Folk festival runs from May 23rd to 26th and promises to be a not-to-be missed event.

In the early days of the 35-year-old festival, acts had only a horse drawn trailer to perform on but these days there is a comfortable seated arena and many acts will be appearing at venues throughout the town.

To find out more about the festival, buy tickets or offer support ring 01249 657190 or go to www.chippfolk.co.uk
