PDF Directory 2023
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 and dance activities across England.
Our directory shares a selection of regional and national opportunities for young people who play or are interested in exploring folk and traditional music or dance. These include folk bands, groups, summer schools, competitions, courses, bursaries, and creative learning projects.
The 2023 directory was published in December 2022 and updated in February 2023. Please contact individual organisations for information about their programmes and safeguarding policies.
