Gosport and Fairham Folk Festival UK
Created | Updated May 28, 2002
A small folk festival split over several sites in and around Gosport and Fareham on the South coast of England near Southhampton. For the year 2000 festival, main events took place in the Ferneham Hall, Fareham. Just around the corner (3mins walk)from the Ferneham Hall is the Ashcroft Arts Centre, where some of the low key, more initmate concerts take place. After the main events finish, there is a "late night festival club" which takes place in the Bellevue Hotel in Lee on Solent, roughly halfway between Gosport and Fareham. The late night festvial club runs from 11:00 to 1:00 am. From 1am onwards the hotel bar is opened for the use of guests, musicians and season ticket holders. The sessions run until dawn and are (depending on your staying power) probably the most fun you can have at this festival, affording as it does, the oportunity to sit and drink with many of the profesional musicians performing, as well as some talented amateurs. Access to the Belle Vue events is only available to residents and full season ticket (all events) holders.
