Cecil Sharp House Spring/Summer Season 2027

We are delighted to announce our spring/summer 2027 season

Our iconic Camden venue once more plays host to a season packed with music and social dance.

Next season kicks off with inviting audiences back to Wassail with Jim Causley, followed by the Indoor Festival of Folk returning for its fifth edition. Our Trad Nights series welcomes Jim Causley, Nick Hart, and Jackie Oates, with regular series Feminist Folk Club and The Crossroads also returning.

Fresh faces take the stage, including Miguel Girão, Jon Wilks and Rich Lines: Strange Heavens, Craven, The Magpies and special guests, and Toby Shaer, Archie Moss & Jack Warnock.

Firm favourites are not to be missed, with performances from Maddy Prior and Peter Knight, Chris Wood, Alistair Anderson and Daphne's Flight. Cecil Sharp Choir return for a Spring Concert and Make Music Day Celebration. 

Plus, there's a lot of dancing you can enjoy with the return of our beloved Queer Ceilidh Dance Parties, Chilled Queer Ceilidh and Bhangra Ceilidh, and Family Barn Dances. The much-loved Queer Folk Festival returns for its third iteration of celebrating folk music and community. 

Experience folk music where it sounds best, at Cecil Sharp House.
