Bello Winter Music is a boutique family friendly festival that takes place within existing venues in the town during one of the cosiest months of the year. The event has proved popular ever since its inception due to its relaxed intimate vibe, diversity of line-up, environmental edge and unexpected quirks including one-off performances that encourage surprise collaboration between artists. The event has sold out each year, reinforcing the backing it has received from patrons and performers alike.

When asked who is a must see at this year's festival, event programmer Kate Atkinson commented, "When quizzed on who I recommend you go see at the festival I say - everyone. This is festival of discovery. So give every act a chance, especially the ones you have never heard of and you may discover your favourite new band."

Tickets for the musical adventure that is Bello Winter Music are now on sale but be quick as the festival sells out each year. www.bellowintermusic.com
