Folk On The Lawn festival is supported by all the village of Tintern and is a not-for-profit festival run by volunteers, with all donations shared amongst the artists.
The festival covers a wide range of folk music - from the more traditional to what many organisers described as "struggling to be so categorised.”
Tickets are not provided in advance, but donations have always been encouraged on the weekend in exchange for a wristband.
