The festival is organised by a committee responsible for the creation of funds for an increasing number of local charities and good causes. The Landlords of "The Alma Inn" run the beer tents, providing a range of local and more exotic ales each year. The Alma provides a natural amphitheatre that is the garden to the rear of the pub which is an intimate environment for the notable Blues acts the committee books each year.
