Melton Folk Festival set to be another big hit

The sweet sound of music, folk music, is hitting Melton's streets again next Friday, Saturday and Sunday (August 3,4 and 5).

Melton Folk Festival returns with staged venues, an abundance of music sessions, singarounds, workshops, and Morris dancing, all to a back drop of a craft fair (Sunday) selling fine handmade gifts.
