Catering is wonderful veggie stuff by Ricardo Day — Caterers and they do sauages in a bun for meateaters.
It started in 1974 and the Christmas Markets began, in the Corn Exchange in Alford in the winter of 1976. The August Festival also became associated with the Morris Dancing Festival organised by the Alford Morris Team, and this is still carried on with displays of dancing, and a grand ceilidh on the Sunday of the Bank Holiday. There is also performance art and lots of music and comedy. Accoustic, Irish, Folk. Plus juggling. acrobats etc.
Open all day and evening with music also in the Half Moon.
Free to get in but there are buckets, for making donations, at the gates.
