	Welcome to the White Horse Folk Festival website HOW IT STARTED The White Horse Folk Festival has been running since 1997. Following the end of an era with the closure of the Stanford in the Vale Folk Festival in 1995 we succumbed to public pressure and started a new event which takes place in Grove, near Wantage, Oxfordshire. SINGERS & MUSICIANS WHFF is a small, intimate, relaxed festival where there is an emphasis on creating an inclusive atmosphere and encouraging everyone to play a part in the weekend’s events. There is plenty of opportunity to sing, play or tell a story with singarounds and music sessions every day, sometimes set around a particular theme. FESTIVAL GUESTS Festival guests are encouraged to be part of the general goings-on over the weekend and will host workshops, mini-concerts or give special presentations as well as performing in the Saturday evening concert in Grove Village Hall. DANCE Local dance sides add colour and variety on the Saturday, dancing at various locations around Wantage during the day and finishing up at the Bell PH in Grove. There is a chance for everyone to dance the night away on Saturday evening when WHFF joins forces with White Horse Ceilidhs in the Old Mill Hall, Grove. Energetic and lively, the White Horse Ceilidhs have gained a reputation for stomping, English barn dances which guarantee to have everyone dancing their socks off!!!
