Folk Association of South Hants

EVENTS AT FOLK CLUBS and ART CENTRES

With the lifting of most of the Covid-19 restrictions, many of the folk clubs and arts centres are up-and-running again. The diaries below are taken from club and centre websites, or are from announcements made by the clubs to their regular members. There is still a slight risk that further restrictions may be imposed again, so at least some of the arrangements listed below must be regarded as provisional.

All the events that we know about in our area are as follows:
