A day long festival of folk & blues returns to the grounds of Shorwell’s Wolverton Manor this May.
From the successful launch in 2011, the family friendly festival raises funds to support Teenage & young adult Cancer care plus local school, Brighstone Primary.

As well as the Main Stage, the popular ‘Beer Tent Acoustic Stage’ will make a welcome return providing a full and varied programme, featuring some of the best Folk & Blues musicians the Isle of Wight has to offer.
