| The
Festival is brought to you this year by Project Managers Jack Mooney
(BAF Unplugged) and Steve Wise and team (Folk), the BAF Directors,
the BAF volunteers and this year’s sponsors and advertisers,
without whom Bakewell Arts Festival would not exist in its current
form. A special thanks to local stone producers, Tarmac, Longcliffe
Quarries, Aggregate Industries, Long Rake Spar, Stancliffe Stone and
Glebe Mines. Since BAF’s inception they have contributed over
£10,000. Rock solid support from a local industry.
