On the last Saturday of each month we have a Ceilidh / open mic night run by the organisers of Wakefield Folk & Music Festival.
Starting time 8.30 pm (-ish).
Please fetch along your voices & any musical instruments you would like to play and join in
(or just listen & enjoy).
The organisers of this event also hold regular informal acoustic jam sessions.
These are usually on alternate Monday evenings - dates shown in the diary section.
