| - I am not really into folk but it is such a fun atmosphere I am sure anyone can enjoy it.
This long-standing celebration of the traditional music, dance and song of the British Isles has taken on the trappings of a tradition in its own right. With over 600 events covering workshops, concerts, singarounds, dances, sessions, street entertainment and the extensive 'fringe' events that blossom spontaneously The famous Whitby Folk Week. The approx. 600 events on offer range from public dance displays to major dances and concerts.
Full programme of workshops in most folk related topics / instruments / types of dance, both at beginner and higher level. Extensive children's programmeSeven days of dancing in the streets, music and singing in the pubs, concerts and dances until late into the night, and a whole lot more. Seven days of meeting old friends and making new ones.
Altogether, Whitby Folk Week is a good reason for heading to the north east of England in late August each year and exploring Whitby too. Expensive to mind my though unless you are really into it.
Price: £128 - Adult season ticket, £96 - Senior/Student season ticket, £64 - Junior season ticket
