A List of Venues in Worcestershire [+Bromyard & Ledbury]

FOLK * SONG : MUSIC : DANCE •• STORYTELLING •• POETRY

* what do we mean by "folk"? Dearie me ... never mind what I think. If you think the evening includes "folk", then send it in. We will include blues.

VENUES with regular events (can include concert or dance series) - our 'regulars'

If any Workshop series - add to Performers page performers.worcestershire-folklife.org.uk

Venues with regular events (the “regulars”). This tells you who meets on what day, and how often (eg weekly, 1st week of month).

  • With thanks as ever to JT, Bill Pullen, Tony Burt, Mike Walton, & Graham Collins. 24 Nov 2011, copyright contributers & Folklife West, publishers.

HOW ACCURATE IS THIS LIST?

  • Should be correct for Folklife Members. Others rely on info sent in. Either way -
    • Please check before going a long distance - holiday closures, and some sessions do move around! And check "THE DIARY" for changes.
    • For various reasons, some VENUES are not always on the schedule below,
      • may move to a new date (typically week before or after) if (eg) they clash with festivals, or the landlord's other events
  • Note that some folk clubs - Fold, Somers, Bromsgrove - also put on additional special events - see the DIARY: dates.worcestershire-folklife.org.uk
  • Other Folklife West Members' Websites which incl. Worcs & Herefds listings are on our local MEDIA page media.worcestershire-folklife.org.uk
