23 September 09 Our friends at Babysweet Sessions have made a half-hour documentary about Forfey Festival and the history behind it. They've done a cracking job at capturing the spirit of the festival, and it was a pleasure to have them there with us. Take a look here and maybe you'll catch a wee glimpse of yourself on film!
10 August 09 What. A. Weekend. An unprecedented sell-out of tickets, near-perfect weather, a superb gathering of talent and fantastic audiences. We seem to end up saying it every year, but we think this really was the best festival so far, and we hope you more seasoned Forfey visitors think so too. Whether it was your first or fourth time with us we'd like to thank you for your support, for coming along, and for making it a great weekend (not to mention for cleaning up after yourselves before you left, that was a massive help!). We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, and we're looking forward to seeing all the photos from the past few days as they emerge. If you have any feedback from the festival or suggestions for next year shoot us an email to mail@forfey.com - we'd love to hear from you.
4 August 09 The festival is nearly upon us and weekend tickets are almost sold out, but we have released another 20 - if you haven't got yours yet, get in quick! There's still a few of the other tickets left, and these will be onsale until Thursday night. See you really soon!
29 July 09 You can now see the full detailed programme here
28 July 09 Can't stay for the whole weekend? Don't fret! You can now get a Friday Night pass for £10, or a Saturday All-Day pass for £18. No excuses now...
23 July 09 With just over two weeks left until we reach the 7th, it's all go here at Forfey HQ. A few last minute things to keep you all informed - weekend tickets are selling like the proverbial hot cakes, so we'd encourage all and sundry who haven't yet put their names down to book in advance where possible. You can do so by following the tickets link here on the site.
We'll be releasing the full programme next week so you can know where and when you got to be! In the meantime, all you need to know is that the campsite opens at 4pm on Friday 7th August, and the festival officially kicks off around 7pm.
Car parking is free for all visitors, and weekend visitors get free camping. If you are planning on bringing a caravan or motorhome you must let us know in advance! We will also be opening a (relatively) quiet campsite this year, again best to let us know in advance as it has very limited space. For both these, please email us at mail@forfey.com.
Alternatively if you don't fancy roughing it, there are a variety of places to stay nearby in Lisnaskea and Enniskillen, such as Share Centre, Belmore Court Motel, or Killyhevlin Hotel.
30 June 09 The full programme is now confirmed, and it's pretty spectacular (even if we do say so ourselves). Take a look on the Programme page, and see the full line-up of music acts on the Music page.
3 June 09 If you want to get involved with working at the festival this year, head over to the Staff page and download the application form - closing date 17th July.
1 June 09 Weekend passes are now available! They're limited, mind, so get your while you can... £25 for a weekend of top class entertainment, fine company, good coffee and beautiful surroundings - flippin' bargain.
24 May 09 A treat for all Mac users! We have a couple of clever little widgets for your enjoyment...
No need to mess up your calendar crossing off the days till Forfey begins - now you can have your very own countdown clock, so you can not only count the days, but the seconds with the Forfey Festival 2009 Countdown
Keep up to date with the latest Forfey news, and get to know the acts performing a little better, with our Pick of the Week widget - each week we will be profiling one of the acts that will be playing at the festival and maybe even revealing little snippets of what's in store.
(Told you they were clever!)
22 May 09 The applications for music and art have been coming in thick and fast, and we now have a packed programme and exhibitions, so thanks for that! The line-up is being released in batches, so head to the Music page for a sneak-peek at the first bunch of fine acts you can look forward to seeing at the festival. More to be revealed soon!
5 May 09 Forfey Festival has joined Facebook - so come find us and get interactive. We've been on MySpace for ages, so if you haven't already found us there then please do - we'd be delighted to have your friendship.
21 April 09 Things are getting exciting down at the farm - cement is being laid, floors are being painted, some new friends are settling in, and plans are being made to make this year even better than 2008. The programme is almost finalised and we have all the music we need for this year, so applications are closed on that front, but we'll be opening it up for 2010 later this year.
Thanks so much to everyone who joined us last year, making it the best Forfey Festival yet. The atmosphere was great, and it was so good to finally have everything come together on the farm. There were some very special moments, we're sure you'll agree... Here's to many more this year!
