Folk Dance and Song Group

Welcome to the Folk Dance and Song Group, a special interest section of The Camping and Caravanning Club.

Our members are a diverse group of people who enjoy combining a love of camping and the outdoors with a variety of activities that can loosely be thought of as ``folk’’. At a typical meet these might include song, dance, playing music and a wide variety of creative activities such as crafts. The meet will usually adapt to suit those camping (for example, if there are several children camping we usually try to include appropriate activities.)

There will often be some organised activities, such as an evening of song and dance with a live band drawn from those camping, or workshops where we learn new skills such as music or crafts. There may also be spontaneous things going on, like musicians gathering on the field to play some tunes, singers sharing songs or Morris Dancers bashing sticks. All activities are completely optional - many people simply enjoy camping in a very informal way on a field with friends (old and new).

You do not need to be a member of the folk group to camp with us, but must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club (this is a legal requirement as it is the club that allows us to run meets).
