ABOUT US: The Folk Dance & Song Group is a Special Interest Section of The Camping & Caravanning Club (for more info on social camping look here).
South West Area camp all over the South West of England and into South Wales. We generally have 4 or 5 day meets with a hall every night. Our ceilidhs always have a live band.
At our meets, which are open to all members of The Camping & Caravanning Club, we have a hall available each evening (sometimes longer) for folk dancing to live music and we share songs, poems and stories. If you play an instrument there are opportunities for you to join us in the band mostly using Pete Mac’s books. At times we share crafts and games too.
