Saturday Folk Music Workshops

All adult learning will take place ONLINE during the Autumn term. We are working towards holding ‘in person’ class learning at Cecil Sharp House from Spring 2021, if  possible and safe to do so.

We offer workshops at different levels for accordion, banjo, fiddle, guitar, melodeon, song and a mixed instrument ceilidh band. Led by our team of inspiring and friendly professional folk musicians including Hazel Askew, David Delarre, Beth Gifford, Ed Hicks, and Laurel Swift.

For adults 16 years plus. Young people 12–15 years old may attend with a participating, responsible adult over 18 years of age.

Please ensure you have read the class skill level guide before booking.
