Join us!

We have around 3,000 members, based all around the world.
Covid-19
Cecil Sharp House is partially closed, so there may be a delay in sending out membership packs to new members and new cards to renewing members.
Publications
As a member of the English Folk Dance and Song Society you will receive regular editions of English Dance and Song magazine – and, if you wish to receive it, the annual scholarly publication Folk Music Journal. Later in 2021, you will also be able to view both publications on a new members-only section of this website.
Insurance
Public Liability Insurance for folk activities is included within some Personal and Affiliated Group memberships. Please read our PLI Guidance Notes for details.
