Huge thanks to everyone who was part of Shepley Spring Festival 19 in any way….

The music and singing and dancing was just brilliant and the whole thing just wouldn’t work without the hard work of all the volunteers. Thanks to the friendly helpful staff at The Venue. Thanks to all of you who bought tickets, came along and took a gamble on a very different venue for a folk festival.

Congratulations to
