White Horse Folk Festival is a small, friendly festival held in Oxfordshire where there is plenty of good singing, quality guests and good company.


2004 Programme

We start on Friday evening with a singaround, music session and a late night session. On Saturday & Sunday morning and Saturday afternoon there are workshops, theme sessions or informal ‘Meet the Artists’ with festival guests. Lunchtimes bring the Big Sings in The Bell P.H. On Saturday evening there is a special presentation of “Lest We Forget” an epic, multimedia show featuring the works of Rudyard Kipling and Peter Bellamy with songs, readings, poems and visual displays, performed by John O’Hagan, Graham Pirt & Val Marsden of Cockersdale, Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman and John Morris. Local Morris & dance sides will add to the festival atmosphere on Saturday. The festival closes on Sunday afternoon after the lunchtime Sing.
WHFF is a relaxed and informal weekend, the ideal chance to meet with friends old & new.
How To Find Us – Grove is a village neighbouring the town of Wantage in Oxfordshire. Upon reaching Grove follow signs for “Grove Technology Park” until you see signs for “WHFF”.
