THE LEMON TREE - Our festival hub

The Lemon Tree prides itself on being a hub for the up and coming creatives, no matter the medium. For us, The Lemon Tree will be our festival hub. You’ll see many unforgettable gigs here over the course of NAFCo, with FREE lunchtime performances every day at 12:30, as well as evening events at 19:30. We’ll be welcoming the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc, Paul Anderson, Brittany and Natalie Haas, The Rheigans Sisters, and that’s just to name a few from our extensive line-up. The Lemon Tree will also host our Final Stramash, at 17:00 on Sunday, closing off the convention with a bang with a performance from the Youth Fiddle Camp and others.

The Lemon Tree will be open every night from 2230 till late, hosting our festival club and a late night dance. Entry to the festival club is free if you have purchased a ticket for anything else on the same day - if not, you can just purchase a ticket to the late night dance to qualify for entry.
