The 2012 festival is again at the historic Moira Furnace, on the restored length of the Ashby Canal. Over the weekend of 19,20 May, there will be a wide range of entertainment for all. We regularly have a re-enactment society at this event, and this year is no exception and we are pleased to welcome the return of the popular Tommy Atkins WW 2 re-enactment group. New for this year are Zero Gravity, a spectacular mountain bike stunt team, who will amaze you with their skill and attempt the first bike jump over the Ashby Canal! There will be a 10 piece swing band for your entertainment, Morris dancing to liven things up, crafty fun for the children, live steam train rides, a variety of stalls and demonstrations, boats, bar and refreshments, all revolving around the banks of the Ashby Canal, at the Heart of the National Forest.
