We are delighted to announce that the 2016 Glenfarg Folk Feast will be held here at Backstage at the Green Hotel, Kinross. The Festival is on Fri 8th, Sat 9th & Sun 10th April.

The club committee have been reviewing the last couple of Folk Feasts and there were a number of fundamental issues which needed to be addressed.

The outcome of this deliberation is that we feel the Feast has outgrown its current home and we have decided to move the 2016 Feast to ‘Backstage at the Green’ The Green Hotel, Kinross. This is a purpose built venue which provides us with all the space, facilities, and accommodation that we need to run a successful Folk Feast. It will remain the Glenfarg Folk Feast, run by the club, and the programme will reflect its proud tradition.

The main issues that have led us to this decision are:

  1. Accommodation .. we are increasingly having to turn people away due to lack of bed space in the village. In Kinross the Green Hotel itself has considerable accommodation and there is a far greater choice of hotels and B@B’s for people to choose from.
  2. Camp Site … there has been a huge increase in the number of Camper Vans coming to the Feast and with parking limited to the hard standing in the park they have ended up parking all over the village. In addition there is now no official running water or toilet facilities for campers in the park. In Kinross we have been allocated a dedicated space adjacent to the hotel which will more than accommodate the number of Camper Vans, Caravans and Tents we can expect.
  3. Session Space .. a very important part of any festival is the opportunity for visiting musicians/guests to come together and enjoy playing and singing their music in an informal way. Currently there is a lack of suitable session space. Backstage at the Green provides this space and ensures we can build a true festival atmosphere.
