It’s festival time for all the family in Wath this weekend

WATH Festival is back this weekend to bring a blend of folk fun and family events to the bank holiday.

The event runs from next Friday to Sunday and includes concerts at All Saints’ Church, Wath Rugby Club and the Burlington Club.

You can join in with a ceilidh at The Burlington on Friday and watch the traditional reading of the will of Thomas Tuke and the throwing of bread rolls from the church spire as part of the May Day Celebration on Saturday.

There will be a market, children's entertainment, a treasure hunt, workshops and performances from local schools and dance groups.
