Alongside the Bulverton Big Top you'll find Betsy's Bar, open to everyone – with local ales and ciders, Crazi Jalfrezi catering, sunset views across the Sid Valley, informal singarounds and sessions and a welcoming space to meet friends old and new.
Bulverton evening tickets include a concert with two acts, a Late Night Extra (LNE) ceilidh, access to Betsy’s Bar and the campfire sessions, giving you a full evening of music, dancing and festival fun.
