Workshop Information

     
A major aim of the Sheffield Folk Festival is to give visitors to the festival the chance to 'have a go' at some of the many skills on show at the festival. Whether you're a total novice or an old hand we have a wealth of instrumental, song and dance workshops for you to try. Workshops are free to weekend and day ticket holders; individual tickets (£5, £4 concessions, £3 for the children's workshops) can be purchased from the festival office.

This is the schedule so far; some additional workshops remain to be confirmed. Venues are Kelham Island Industrial Museum (various rooms) and the Kelham Island Tavern (back room).
