The gradual relaxation of Covid rules, and the signals in the press have made us optimistic about being able to hold the Festival from 17 September to 19 September.
Acts are being booked and will be announced on the website shortly. The brochure is being prepared and if there isn’t any bad Covid news, will soon be going to the printer. You can see more about the Festival on our Facebook and Twitter pages by using the links on the right of this page.
We had a successful AGM on 16 March, and now looking ahead to September.
We are busy preparing the 2021 Festival to be held on 17th, 18th and 19th September. It will be a 3-day festival this year due to covid restricting our plans.
If you would like to help as a volunteer at the Festival, please email friends.wfma@gmail.com and we will be in touch.
The Festival is over for another year. Many thanks to those who came to our events and made it such a success.

We were saddened to hear that Malcolm Ranieri FRPS passed away in October. We were honoured that Malcolm led the Steam Railway photography workshop during our 2018 Festival and appreciated his amazing passion and knowledge from planning it right through to the very last moment of the day itself. We extend our sincere condolences to his family.
Planning for the 2019 Festival has already started.
We are hosting an Open Evening at the White Hart at 7pm on Monday 12th November. At this informal event, we’d be happy to buy you a drink in exchange for your ideas for the 2019 Festival.
