August Bank Holiday-out

The annual Allensford Festival on August Bank Holiday Monday has always been a hugely popular event, with thousands of people descending on the quiet riverside for an afternoon of great live music. Previous line-ups have included the Balham Alligators, Jack The Lad, the Oyster Band and Bobby Valentino, along with some of the many excellent bands from around the region. In 1999, Lindisfarne played to an audience in excess of 8,000. The event was postponed in 2001 because of the Foot and Mouth crisis.
