our wide-reaching workshops programme offers 100’s of opportunities to learn and develop a variety of skills in a secure and inclusive community of teachers and learners.
With great breadth and depth, the annual workshop programme offers perennial favourites and exciting innovations with the chance to learn new skills, to fine tune established talents, to try one-off taster sessions or to commit to week-long series. Many series lead to showcase performances at the end of the week. Try one-off taster sessions or to commit to week-long series across a wide range of folk arts, with song, dance & music represented.
