This year's Isles of Scilly Folk Festival (31 March-5 April) is overlapping with Walk Scilly (27 March-3 April), the islands' annual walking festival. There will be the chance to explore one of the world's most beautiful natural environments under the guidance of experts; to take in Scilly's amazing history, its flora and fauna and its extraordinary landscape of rugged coast, soft sand and gorsey downland; and then, when the walking's done, to rest the feet and let the music and locally-brewed ale go to work! Artists appearing include Dalla (http://www.dalla.co.uk), Leski (http://www.myspace.com/leskikernow), Sarah McQuaid (http://www.sarahmcquaid.com), The Rough Island Band (http://www.roughislandband.com) and Vivien Ellis (http://www.myspace.com/vivienellis). The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company (0845 710 5555) is kindly offering discounted sea and air tickets to the islands for festivalgoers, and the Tourist Information Centre (01720 424031) will help with accommodation enquiries.
