The two day festival is the brainchild of Will Greenham and Rufus Maurice owners of The Cornish Bank music venue, bar and cafe situated in the old bank building in Church Street.

It is hoped it will eventually match the success of of the Sea Shanty Festival or the Oyster Festival.

It follows along similar lines to the hugely successful Sea Change Festival in Totnes where artists perform at different venues across the town. So far the venues include the bank itself, the Princess Pavilion and Underhand in the Old Brewery Yard with other venues hoping to be announced soon.

The festival runs over two days on April 8 and 9, early bird tickets sold out very quickly, next round in tier 1 tickets are £25 available through Cornish Bank website at thecornishbank.co.uk or at wanderfalfestival.eventbrite.co.uk

Over 25% of tickets have already gone so don't wait around!!
