Heading over to the Jura fest - hope the weather's not too bad. Never been before, heard it's good though :D

Here's the official info I got:

"Festival dates are 21st to 23rd September inclusive. Friday night sees the start of the festival with a local and visitors concert. Saturday afternoon is when the workshops take place, samba band, gaelic singing, percussion, making guitar and others. The grand concert and dance is Saturday also. Tickets are on a first come basis starting on Friday night and then Saturday lunchtime. They cannot be prebooked. £12 for concert and dance. Pete Smoke are playing in the field marquee at the same time on Saturday night. Blazing Fiddles is the main act at the concert.
Camping is available in the hotel field again on first come basis. Other accommodation is usually booked well in advance. Their is so much happening there will be very little time to sleep! Sunday starts with the festival church service, a rousing occassion with the brass band. Not to be missed. Opened stage takes place in the couperage next to the hotel and the survivors night contiues in the pub until late on."
