With Folk Camps you can experience folk music, singing and dancing, and take part in the wide range of other activities on offer. If you like music, have a sense of humour and enjoy meeting new people, this is the place to find out more about our family-friendly holidays.
Each year Folk Camps finds beautiful locations throughout England and Wales (and sometimes Scotland or Europe) to host events. Our holidays include:
- week long fully-catered summer camps
- self-catered camping weekends at bank holidays
- hotel breaks during the winter
- “workshop weekends” where we concentrate more on singing, dancing or music
We find sites in attractive locations, where there are also lots of places to visit and things to do. There will be a field to camp on and either a hall or a marquee for eating, dancing, playing, singing and any number of other activities.
Folk Camps for 2021 Season
Unfortunately we have had to cancel our whole 2021 programme of camps. See these news stories from earlier in the year.
Craft Break 2022
The 2022 Craft Break camp is now open for bookings, at the bottom of the programme table below.
Plans for 2022
In 2022, we very much hope that we will be able to resume our full programme, with many of the sites, people and events we all love. The broad programme will be similar to the one we had to cancel in 2020 (see below), but we may need to change some sites due to changes in availability.
Original 2020 Programme
The following table shows the original cancelled 2020 programme so you can get a sense of what is planned for 2022.
