Taste the Festival over a Coffee

On Saturday 14th May between 12pm and 3pm, a selection of artists appearing at this year’s Beverley Festival – Folk, Acoustic, Roots, will be hitting the towns café’s giving impromptu taster performances of what the public can expect to hear at this year’s festival.

As well as in the café’s, other acts such as Forro Porro will be found winding their way through the town centre streets of Beverley getting everyone in the ‘Festival Spirit’ with their South American Fiesta sounds.
