Following the Government announcements this week in response to the Covid-19 crisis, we regretfully advise we have had to take the decision to cancel this year’s Wolverton Folk and Blues Fair which was to be held on 16th May.

Anyone who has already purchased tickets can return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.

We hope you understand the reasons for this decision being taken and we hope to be back next year.
