Feltonbury Music and Art Festival

Saturday 14th August 2021

Unlike its namesake, Glastonbury, there's no mud, no queues, no tailbacks! But we do have plenty of talent.

Feltonbury is a Music and Arts Festival held in the beautiful Northumbrian village of Felton. Now in its fifth year, it's an eclectic mix of music, song and general creative mayhem.

All are welcome and it's a great day out for the family. For more information follow us on Facebook or email Neal Skelton at nealskelton@btinternet.com.
