BunkFest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BunkFest, a small but growing end-of–summer folk festival, takes place in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK and combines a broad range of folk music, dance displays, a beer festival and the local (Bunk) steam railway. It centres on the Kinecroft, the open space enclosed by the burh town’s 9th-century defensive walls, but involves performances in local pubs and other venues, with most free to attend. The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway brings people from the main rail network at Cholsey. The festival includes performances on the train and on boats on the Thames. The first BunkFest took place in 2002, and performers have included Eliza Carthy, Cara Dillon, The Oysterband and Chumbawumba.
