It's a short walk to the Cobargo village where there is a good pub, coffee shops and an excellent supermarket where you can purchase your stores. There's also some tempting craft and antique shops. The featured instrument for the 2006 Festival is the squeezebox. Of course there are concerts, workshops, dances, poets breakfasts, comedy acts, sessions, sessions and more sessions, plus intimate blackboard concerts, exotic food stalls, bar and refreshments. This is a very friendly festival and judging from the many accolades from last year's festival it just keeps getting better.
