EDITORS COMMENTS

The 14th annual festival organized by the Milverton Folk Dance Group brought together a diverse range of performers who delighted a large crowd with their mesmerizing routines. Affiliated to the esteemed English Folk Dance and Song Society, this festival was a true celebration of cultural heritage and artistic expression.
