Dentdale music + beer festival www.dentmusicandbeer.com - With over 25 artists and 25 Cask Ales from far and wide, this new event is a totally volunteer run festival with free entry and headline acts including the legendary gordon giltrap.
Not to be confused however with the original dent folk festival - www.dentfolkfestival.co.uk - which is running on the same weekend in sedbergh wowing us with musical treats such as transglobal underground and Black Umfolosi.
here's hoping we find the time to hop between the two!!
