Memories….from the Canterbury Folk Festival 14-18 April 2017 – Photo Gallery

A combination of music lovers and people knowing they would be welcomed into a friendly and safe environment made their way to the Festival over Easter weekend. We are very blessed to have incredible photographers in our festival family!

Thank you to Warren Watson for generously sharing this collection of amazing photos.
