Devon Folk/Roots duo taking the sounds of the West Country across the nation. Close your eyes and you can feel the Dartmoor mists and hear the gulls off Plymouth sound and feel the South Hams. With haunting slide guitar, lilting fiddle and foot-stomping rhythms, Tamar's songs will stay with you forever.

Returning to Holfbefest, Elfic the Juggler is preparing to delight the crowd with his show of circus skills, madcap comedy and wicked one-liners, improvisation, mayhem and a little danger!

Combining elements of street entertainment and circus, Elfic creates high energy, fast-paced, award-winning entertainment. Be ready for a roller coaster ride of fun and laughter, amazement and bewilderment. Is he an inept, bungling buffoon or a highly skilled, talented professional? Having seen last years performance we know he's the ultimate professional and we are so pleased he is able to join us again for Holbefest 19. Get practising your juggling, unicycling and stilt walking!

For Holbefest 19 we are changing our Dog Policy and we hope to build a dog-friendly event. You are welcome to bring well-behaved dogs to Holbefest up until the main bands start at 6 pm. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times whilst on the event site and we ask owners to ensure they clean up any foaling. If you want to exercise your dog off the lead then we ask you to leave the main site and use the open meadow area surrounding the site. Reentry to the event is via a wristband issued in exchange for your ticket. On site, we will provide a water station, poo bags and a disposal bin where you can deposit used bags. Whilst we want Holbefest 19 to be a dog-friendly event, we have to balance the desires of all participants, consequently, owners of dogs which are not on a lead, or exhibit antisocial behaviour, may be asked to leave without a refund.

Gates open 12:00 noon

Holbefest is a not for profit organisation that organises and runs the Holbefest family fun day and music festival in June of each year. The organisation is volunteer-based and none of the committee members or those involved in the running of the event receives compensation for their time. All proceeds raised by Holbefest are ploughed back into the local community, supporting the local school, clubs and societies.

The past three years have seen Holbefest raise a considerable amount of money for the local village school, Holbeton Primary School. As a small village school, it is essential that funds are raised to support the great work of the school team and school association. The money raised was used in a variety of ways and was left to the discretion of the chair of the school association and the head teacher.  Funds raised through Holbefest has enabled the school to purchase a much needed set of guided reading materials for Key Stage 1 and Foundation years, acquire additional resources for outdoor learning and helped to finance a residential experience for the children, covering the cost of transport and supporting families who have more than one child in the class. The School Association has also used monies raised from Holbefest to fund the after-school club enabling to continue to do their work in providing wrap around care for local children.
