The festival directors are currently conducting a feasibility study to examine how best the festival can develop in the future within an increasingly competitive national market, without losing the qualities that make the current festival unique.

To ensure that we can continue to develop the festival successfully, we are conducting a public consultation so that we can hear your views.

This is your chance to have a say and let us know:

What sort of festival would YOU like to visit?

Your thoughts on the existing festival

What you would like to see in the future festivals

There are three ways by which you can share your thoughts:

1. Click on the web link here [4] and register on our user forum where you can add your comments in an infomal way and join the discussion with other local people

2. Download the festival questionnaire (at the bottom of this page), complete and post back to us.

3. Join us at the Tiger Inn on Lairgate on Thursday 22nd May at 7.30pm for a public meeting - everyone is welcome!
