Welcome to the 2008 Baldock Festival - our 25th Anniversary
 

Morris dancers  

We are pleased to introduce the programme for the 2008 Baldock Festival fortnight, running from
Friday 2 to Sunday 18 May 2008.

Much lies in store! Walks, including a new Ghost Walk, talks including a look at the Coronation Celebrations of 1953, concerts, including a Jazz Spectacular, are all in the programme to celebrate Baldock Festival’s 25th anniversary.

With over 50 events and activities offering a range of music and dancing, food and drink, treasure hunts, guided walks, quizzes and competitions, this year's Festival looks set to offer something for everyone!

There's also Baldock Festival's first Beer Festival, Mystery Tours and two - yes, two - wine tastings!

 

Guided walk


 
Medieval Knights will battle at the Street Fair   Simply click on a date link on the left to view a particular day's planned events- and have your diary handy! You can also see all the events at-a-glance.

If there are any last minute changes to the programme, you will find details here.

Of course, no Baldock Festival would be complete without our ever popular Street Fair and Craft Market on Saturday 17th May.

This year's Street Fair continues last year's Medieval theme. In addition to the Morris Day of Dance and Craft Market, we'll have a mini Medieval ‘village’, including craftspeople and re-enactors demonstrating their skills.


 
For the children, as well as the jester and medieval knights, there will be fairground rides (traditional, but 21st century!).

The Street Fair will offer plenty of opportunity for both adults and children to join in and take part, so promises to be a fun day for all!
