STEELEYE SPAN: SPANFEST 08, 26 July Lutterworth Leicestershire

The Site had to be moved from Kentwell Hall to Stanford Hall Lutterworth Leicestershire LE17 6DH. Spanfest was due to be at Kentwell Hall again this year .. but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we lost the Kentwell site. We have hunted round to find a new venue and we feel That Stanford Hall is a good replacement. But we are only going to run a single day event this year 26th July.

Acts booked so far The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Whapweasel,Maddy Prior..Steeleye Span plus special guests.
