Find out what you could get out of volunteering in this interview with Swaledale Festival Volunteer, Adam Nichols.

At Swaledale Festival we regularly commission music and art from leading creators as well as lesser known ones.

The Festival is sad to learn of the death of Dr. Duncan Bythell, a long-term resident of Swaledale and a fine musician.

Over 6,200 tickets were sold for 50 music, arts and walking events across 18 venues, from Handel’s Messiah filling the heights of Ripon Cathedral, to brass, strings, woodwind, piano, percussion and vocals resounding in the chapels and churches of the Dales, to a folk fest in a cowshed.
