Saturday Sessions return to The Witham this summer, bringing free live music to The Witham Garden every Saturday from 29 June until the end of August 12noon until 5pm.
Expect relaxed afternoons filled with folk, acoustic, blues, roots, singalong favourites and feel good summer sounds from a brilliant mix of local and regional artists. Whether you’re meeting friends for a drink, stopping by after the market or simply looking for somewhere to unwind in the sunshine, Saturday Sessions are all about enjoying live music in the heart of Barnard Castle while supporting local artists and grassroots music.
