TAKE a look back at previous Allen Valleys Folk Festivals with us.
The festival was first established in 2014 and is a three-day event celebrating the best in folk music and traditional dance.
The festival also includes the iconic ceremony that sees a wooden sculpture representing the Allendale wolf burnt to the ground.
This year, the festival will run from Friday, September 22 until Sunday, September 24.
The events will be in various venues in the village.

Live bands from near and far have descended on the village for the event over the years, with featured artists including The McGoldrick Sisters, The Unthanks, Rachel Newton Trio, Matuki, Kathryn Tickell, and Faustus.
