Autumn music programme announced

Monday 9th of July 2018

While there's still much of the summer to look forward to, we're already preparing for what will be our busiest programme of music to date!

With performances every week from the start of September until mid-December, there's no excuse to be sat at home this autumn. Come and enjoy performances from across the spectrum of folk music; hear choirs, conversations and Christmas concerts; new songs, old songs and everything in between. Experience folk music where it sounds best, at Cecil Sharp House.
