History

The Folk Dance & Song Group (or the “Folk Group” as it is known amongst it’s members) was formed in 1962, to encourage all aspects of Traditional and Folk Culture within the social life of the Camping and Caravanning Club.This includes folk music, dance, song, and traditional and contemporary crafts.

We provide the perfect partnership between ‘folk’ activities and camping, and we are affiliated members of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

The Folk Group is divided into eight Areas covering England and Wales, of which we are one.Each Area of the Folk Group organises weekend camping ‘meets’ in their area during Spring,Summer and Autumn, plus Winter social activities.
