This page contains information about the nationally arranged meets. Most meets are organised locally and are found under the areas link.
The next National Camping Meet for the folk group will be at Easter when we are holding our Spring Festival at Evesham 16-21 April, 2025. There will be workshops across a wide range of folk activities (Song, Music, Crafts, Dance, … whatever members are willing to contribute!) There will also be a full “family Festival” catering for a range of ages. Day visitors are welcome to attend. Under 18s camping with a family unit are free.
This event has its own website, which you can find HERE. Updates on this page will only be for very important announcements, to avoid the problem of two sources of information needing to be kept up to date on a daily basis, so please consult the Spring Festival page for full details.
There is also our Residential Weekend at the Cumberland Hotel, Eastbourne, 21st – 24th February, 2025, where we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of this event. Parking at the hotel is easy, and the view from the front conservatory is spectacular.
There are daily dance workshops and dances / ceilidhs with live music on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Breakfast and dinner are provided.
There are music sessions, craft gathers / workshops in the mornings with song sessions in the late afternoon each day.
You will find more details on Page 13 in the August – October issue of Folk News.
