There are lots of ways for young people to get involved in folk music through a wide range of organisations in England.
The English Folk Dance and Song Society produces a directory of Youth Folk Opportunities around England. Our PDF directory is produced as part of our National Youth Folk Ensemble programme, which aims to promote, develop and link youth folk music activities across England.
The directory shares a selection of regional and national opportunities for young people who play or are interested in exploring folk and traditional music. These include folk bands, summer schools, competitions, courses, bursaries, and creative learning projects.
