A FREE folk festival in Cumbria has announced its upcoming dates for next year.

The Langdale Charity Folk Festival supports the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) and the Lake District Mountain Rescue Search Dogs.

The event is held twice a year at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale, Cumbria.

Husband and wife team, Dave and Maureen Reid, organise the festival that takes place on May 8-10 and September 11-13 in 2015.

Dave Reid said: “We pride ourselves on putting together a varied programme of talented groups, duos and solo performers from all corners of the UK.

“Two weekends of brilliant music, a great range of real ales and the most beautiful scenery in the country.”
