2013 Festival: 14th – 29th June
15 days of Music and Arts in the Yorkshire Dales
Now in its 33rd consecutive year, Grassington Festival is renowned for bringing world-class acts to this picturesque Dales village. With live music, street theatre, comedy, visual arts, masterclasses, workshops, walks and plenty of family shows, there is something to suit everyone and every pocket including some free events.
In what looks like one of its most ambitious and star-studded programmes of recent years, Grassington Festival has announced the full line up for 2013. And it’s not just the calibre of its performers that makes this programme shine – alongside huge names like Jack Dee, Jools Holland, Black Dyke Band and the legendary festival folk rockers, Levellers, you’ll also find plenty of quirky events celebrating all that’s great about Yorkshire and its Dales communities.
