As of 2018, it will be replaced by an enlarged and reformed Beverley Fringe Festival. Whilst British Folk Music, both traditional and new, remains at the heart of the festival, it also features many genres of music including Americana, world music, rock, a variety of acoustic performances and much more. In recent years it has expanded to encompass comedy, film, poetry, drama, literature and storytelling. Past line-ups have ranged from folk legends such as The Watersons, Steeleye Span, Oysterband, Ralph McTell and the Peatbog Faeries, to Billy Bragg, Barbara Dickson and The Proclaimers. Contemporary performers have included Seth Lakeman, Bellowhead, Eliza Carthy and Blackbeard's Tea Party. Outside the realms of mainstream folk music, headliners have ranged from Joe Brown to Paul Carrack. HistoryEstablished in 1983, the festival was originally organised by the White Horse Folk Club.[1] Over the years it grew steadily in size and became based at Beverley Leisure Centre, with the venue hosting the main stage, with further music and craft tents on the adjacent site along with the campsite. Nearby pubs in the town including the Sun Inn and Tiger Inn also hosted live music, and the town centre various fringe events. Songwriter and radio broadcaster Mike Harding, and playwright and dramatist John Godber are among the festival patrons.[2] Racecourse MoveIn 2013, the festival moved to Beverley Racecourse.[3] The Racecourse site included: The Festival Village (food and craft stalls and open-air performances), Main Stage Marquee (The Big Top) (large marquee hosting festival headliners, with a capacity of over 1000), Concert Marquee (The Little Top) (smaller marquee showcasing new and old artists), The Atom (venue hosting the Late Night and Moonbeams Sessions, beer tent and improvised music), The Racecourse Rooms (main Grandstand function rooms/bars hosting talks, open music sessions, The Westwood Sessions and comedy, drama and talks), and Children’s Marquee (running arts, crafts and music for children). Alongside the Racecourse site continued the Fringe Festival, in and around Beverley Market Place and pubs. ManagementThe festival is run on a not-for-profit basis and is managed by a board of volunteer directors. Other volunteers are also key to the festival, with dozens of people taking part as stewards, on the reception desk, directing parking, selling merchandise and as part of the recycling (Green) team, etc. Infrastructure is managed by Cornucopia Events with whom the festival has a very close and mutually helpful relationship. 2018 CancellationIt was announced in April 2018 that the years festival would be cancelled,[4] citing the loss of its primary source of funding as the reason for its cancellation. The company was placed into immediate voluntary liquidation. 2018 Fringe FestivalWithin hours of the news emerging of the cancellation of the festival, organisers involved in Fringe Festival events announced their intention to host an enlarged fringe to fill the void. Reflecting very much the festival origins and roots, a reformed and expanded Fringe Festival ran over the planned three days with performances at venues including The Tiger, Sun Inn and Monks Walk public houses, Memorial Hall, East Riding Theatre, a well in and around the town centre.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/beverley-folk-festival-various-venues-7827458.html|title=Beverley Folk Festival, various venues|date=8 June 2012|work= The Independent}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://justbeverley.co.uk/articles/1356/mike-harding-and-john-godber-encourage-music-lovers-to-support-beverley-folk-festival|title=Mike Harding and John Godber Encourage Music Lovers to support Beverley Folk Festival|date=30 May 2017|work= Just Beverley}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://beverley-racecourse.co.uk/news/new-music-festival-moves-to-the-racecourse|title=Music festival moves to the Racecourse|date=25 February 2013|work=Beverley Racecourse}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-43867140|title=Long-running Beverley Folk Festival cancelled|date=23 April 2018|work=BBC News}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://justbeverley.co.uk/articles/1960/beverley-fringe-expands-to-fill-folk-festival-hole-on-june-15-17|title=Beverley Fringe Expands to fill Folk-Festival hole|date=30 May 2018|work= Just Beverley}} External links
