Cecil Sharp House is home to the English Folk Dance and Song Society and the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library.
Cecil Sharp House is a small, friendly, flexible venue with a welcoming team – we want everyone to feel at home here. We view Cecil Sharp House as a relaxed venue – that means we welcome people who can’t always sit still and in silence throughout a performance. We ask that everyone is respectful and kind to other audience members and artists – not all disabilities are visible: see Access for details.
Our building is usually open seven days a week, from 9am to 11pm.
We sometimes close early on quieter days, particularly in the holidays: to check before travelling, you can email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 020 7485 2206.
