What's it about? A musical feast on the south coast, with real ale, teatime shows and acoustic sets from well-known names.

Alongside a hearty dose of shows from the likes of Chumbawamba, Flook, Kathryn Tickell and Show of Hands, this long weekender features dance displays, intimate late night sessions and workshops.

Workshops are free to Festival season ticket holders and take place morning and 'teatime' (how quaint...) throughout the festival, with additions to the menu that cater for the younger palate as well as the established. Whilst singers and musicians are encouraged to join the informal session sat Ferneham Hall bar and Lysses House Hotel bar - an opportunity to share your talent with the local vacinity.

Plus a local craft foyer will be tantalising the taste buds of all musicians with an array of instruments at the Ferneham Hall foyer.

Book now if you love: Cups of tea and innovative recitals.

Don't miss: The acoustic set from Chumbawamba.
