Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival

Dave Thompson, Events Manager, Middlewich Town Council
Welcome by the festival patron Mark Radcliffe
'Greetings summer revellers and well done for finding your way back to Middlewich – the Venice of the North. Well, we’ve got a few canals anyway. And no gondolas thank goodness. Have you been on one of those? What a rip-off. You won’t find the good boatpeople of Middlewich taking £100 off you to poke a stick in the water to prod you down a fetid backwater
No, rest assured the weekend promises good sounds, excellent beers, picturesque waterways and friendly faces – and all at a fraction of the cost of most festival destinations. Of course, things have changed. Nothing stays the same forever does it? Well except for Bruce Forsyth’s hair but then something that has been created out of half a coconut is always going to prove resistant to alteration.
But the festival has developed and moved on and it is a tribute to all those involved that it has survived at all. Many similar events have gone under in these trying times and so we are delighted to be here to welcome you once again.
