festival has been organised by Pete McClelland and Eddy Mayhew of Hobgoblin 
Music, and takes place around the town of Wadebridge between Friday 22nd, 
and Monday 25th August 2008.  Tickets are now on sale, and a ticket covering 
every event and workshop over the weekend will cost a mere £58 pounds if 
purchased before the end of June. After that, the price is £63.

You can also get day season tickets, or individual tickets for every event.
