Dates for the Cygnet Folk Festival 2011
In 2011 the Cygnet Folk Festival will be on the weekend of Jan 14th to 16th.

The Cygnet Folk Festival is conventionally held on the second weekend after the New Year.
We need a clear two week run-up to the Festival after the Christmas/New Year break to co-ordinate production, transport, volunteers and billets.

In 2011, however, New Years Day falls on a weekend. Further, the following Monday is a public holiday. That would leave only a four day run up to Cygnet after the New Year and after other major events such as The Falls and Woodford festivals.

We are extremely grateful to the organizers of the
Tamar Valley Folk Festival for adjusting their dates for 2011 to coordinate with our shift. Consequently our sister festival in the North will run the weekend after Cygnet as is traditionally the case. So if you plan attending, performing at or staying at Cygnet during the festival make sure that the dates, 14 - 16 Januaryfor Cygnet and 21 - 24 January for the Tamar Valley Festival are marked in your calendar.

 

Volunteer registrations are now open
We are looking for the usual small army of dedicated, energetic volunteers to make the festival run. This year we are looking for volunteer coordinators for some of the Festival's administrative tasks and we are changing the way the venues are managed. So if you are interested in being a part of the festival to gain skills, share your expertise or just to enjoy the fun of working with a great team to make the festival happen, check out our
Volunteers page and then register online.
