The charming town of Dulverton, the Southern Gateway to Exmoor, is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new music festival.  On Saturday 25 May the Exmoor Lawns beside the River Barle will be buzzing with the sounds of live music from 3 to 10pm at the ‘Dulverton Sounds’ Music Festival.

Dulverton in summer

There’ll be a large marquee featuring music of almost every genre – a big brass band, folk music, a shanty band, acoustic guitars and more.  Sing along to a session of music from the pop divas – or one with country and western tunes.  Something to suit every taste! Visit the ‘Chill Out Area’ from 12 noon to 3pm – a separate marquee where you can bring your own instruments, make friends, join in and create your own folk music.

Hear the Edenbridge Town Band, a fabulous traditional brass band, and discover the music of Foxwillow with singer/songwriters Celia and Martin, and Hazel on the Celtic harp.  Dance and sing along to a set of country & western tunes and a set of songs by the pop divas with the sensational Elizabeth Phipps .  Jules and Rob will bring their style of rock music on acoustic guitars and vocals.  The Jurassix Shanty Band (pictured above) will be there and the fabulous Mint Juleps will bring an uplifting cocktail of retro jazz/pop well-known hits. The Festival will end at 10pm.

To ensure the day goes with a swing, there’ll be a refreshments area from 3pm featuring hot and cold food and locally produced beers, ciders and spirits.

Tickets for the ‘Dulverton Sounds’ Music Festival are now available HERE or from Dulverton Post Office.  Just £10 for the whole day and children under 14 go FREE.  All festivalgoers will be issued with a wristband.
