Whiteford Music Festival
Encyclopedia
The Whiteford Music Festival is a non-profit music festival
, hosted every year on the grounds of the Whiteford House
in Cornwall
, UK
.
The festival is held over three days with Friday night swing, Saturday night orchestral 'Proms in the Park' with fireworks, and Sunday family chill-out.
The festival celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010, but a rest break in 2011 will see a welcome return in 2012.
Despite the festival's award winning success and popularity for over a decade, 2010 is expected to be the last annual Whiteford Festival due to the planned retirement of the present organising committee and a need for new volunteers to take over the running of this charity event.
This secular festival helps raise money for the physical (non-religious) maintenance and repair of the local Parish Church
at Stoke Climsland
