About this event
AberFest is a celebration of Cornish and Breton music and culture and takes place every other year in Cornwall over the Easter weekend. It involves a number of Breton musicians and dancers coming over to stay with host families in Cornwall. We organise a weekend of activities for our Breton guests but it is only the events on Easter Saturday 4th April which are open to the public and they are all in Falmouth town centre.
Events start with some free dance displays, weather permitting, on the Moor between 12pm and 1pm followed by a series of musical performances at the pubs in and around Custom House Quay from 2.30pm to 4.30pm by a mixture of Breton and Cornish folk groups. The day is rounded off by an evening of music and dance featuring Breton Fest Noz and Cornish Ceilidh and Nos Lowen dancing at King Charles the Martyr Church Hall, New Street, from 7pm to 10.30pm. Tickets are £10 for adults and £3 for children and are available on the door. Why not put the date in your diary and come along and join in the festivities!
Look out for images of mackerels in the town as they are the mascots of the festival due to the fact that they migrate between the coasts of Cornwall and Brittany.
