Cropton Folk and Roots 2009
Important Announcement
Roots North at Cropton has been postponed……...
A huge apology to all who have already bought tickets or reserved a craft stall pitch and a massive thank you to all the artistes who had agreed to support this new venture.
Although there has been a lot of interest in our new festival, advance ticket sales have been relatively low. We have checked the long – range weather forecast and the forecast for the next weekend is for heavy rain. This will mean that ticket sales on the door will also be low as the Festival is an outdoor event. The site we are planning to use is already wet, due to the persistent wet weather we have been experiencing, and it looks like there is a lot more to come, which will exacerbate the problem.
For these reasons, we are unable to go ahead with the festival this year. We do plan to run a Roots North festival in 2010. Tickets will be available immediately for the 2010 Festival and we’re sure, that with a longer lead time, it will be a huge success like our other ventures, Seafest and Ryedale Folk Weekend.
We will be contacting everyone involved over the next few days but please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any immediate concerns or queries.
If you have bought tickets there are a few options:-
We can send you a full refund
We can transfer your purchase to our next (established) festival at Osmotherley 11-13 September www.festivalonthemoor.co.uk at no extra cost to you. We can send you tickets for Roots North 2010.
Once again, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. Roots North and Festival on the Moor always endeavour to deliver a high quality experience for all involved. In this event we believe we are unable to guarantee this - so hope you understand.
We look forward to seeing you at some of our other events in North Yorkshire.
Best wishes,
