A WEEKEND of fine weather, plus top musicians and entertainers, helped attract a record crowd to the 33rd Dartmoor Folk Festival held at South Zeal last weekend.

Many events were full-to-capacity visitors from far and near going along to see some of the top names in the folk world performing alongside the very best local musicians and singers.

Pictured here are some members of Winkleigh Morris.

BBC Radio 2 Folk Award 2010 winners, Show of Hands, kicked off the event with a gig for 600 people in a huge marquee at the village playing fields, where the festival was centred.

A range of other concerts, workshops, a music hall and the Sunday afternoon arena event were also sell-outs.
