Welcome to Nailsea Folk Club
Welcome to Nailsea Folk Club! We have been running the club since 1987 and have developed a strong reputation for our concert programme which features top names from around the world. Over the years the club has become a family of linked activities and projects which develop and change over time.
We hold most of our concerts in Nailsea Tithe Barn which is very comfortable and has an excellent acoustic. Nailsea Folk Club was very involved and instrumental in the refurbishment of the barn which dates from the 15th Century. It provides an ideal ambience for folk music. It is fully accessible for people with physical disabilities and has modern facilities.
We also run more traditional folk club nights including feature nights at the Ring of Bells in Nailsea which has a lively atmosphere.
Every second Tuesday throughout the year at 8pm we have our "Singers and Musicians Nights" at the Grove Sports Centre (see the dedicated page).
NFC is also involved in fundraising events and supports many local causes.
Since May 2022 we have been running Sunday afternoon meetings and occasional events for Ukrainian refugees and their children living locally. If you would like to become involved please get in contact with us.
Note due to increased banking charges we are unable to accept cheques. Apologies.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
