The English Folk Dance and Song Society is to host a series of classes, courses and workshops exploring the world of folk music.

Activities on offer include classes, courses and workshops running from January to April 2017 based on traditional English folk arts for children, young people, adults and families.

Highlights of the season include a Morris Dance histories conference on March 25 and 26 to celebrate the tradition and a lecture series examining topics from witchcraft to drink and politics in early Modern England.

The Folk Song Toolkit will also make up part of the programme, a training day for music makers and teachers to help them deliver inclusive sessions on 14 March.

A full list of classes and courses at Cecil Sharp House can be found at cecilsharphouse.org/csh-whats-on.
