NYFTE (pronounced "nifty") are a team of 10-18 year olds from all over the country, who perform traditional dance, music and song and view Chippenham as their "home" festival - they've been to the festival every year for decades! You will find this highly talented bunch across the festival programme with high energy dance displays featuring a broad range of English traditions, song, instrumental music and even a ceilidh band and callers!
