Since its first year in 2007 the festival has grown into a truly unique event, described by R2 magazine as an “excellent festival†and by Folk Radio UK as “without doubt, superb…and with a reputation for breaking new talent, both home grown and importedâ€. Have a look at www.gtsf.uk for a list of previous line-ups.
Southwell is arguably the prettiest town in Nottinghamshire.
The stunning Southwell Minster is a splendid cathedral with one of the finest Norman naves in Europe. The Minster hosts music from the festival on Friday afternoon.
While you are at the festival, it is well worth spending time wandering the independent shops and pubs which help make the town so special, and which come alive with dancing and other events while the festival is on.
