Name: Folk in the Forest
Start: 2024-10-19T19:00:00+01:00
Location: Cafe Ambio, Whinlatter Forest

Enchanting evenings of music in the forest, with floor spots, special guests and an informal session to round off the evening.
A folk music session with a difference - set in the glorious surroundings of the Whinlatter forest, showcasing local artists and with opportunities to join in yourself. The combined magic of music and nature is an unforgettable experience, and a great way to connect with others through music.
Hosted by local singer / song writer Dave Camlin, each evening starts with floor spots, followed by special guests, and we finish the evening with an open session - bring an instrument or a song to share…
If the weather's favourable, we'll have the event outdoors on the verandah, so dress warmly! If the weather's bad, we'll move indoors to the cafe.
Tickets by donation - suggested amounts £3 - £12. Please pay what you can afford, and help us keep prices low for those facing financial hardship.
Cafe Ambio has a licenced bar and is serving delicious food from 17:00 so enjoy a hearty meal followed by some great entertainment.
Special Guests

Tryckster
(Dave Camlin, Mark Newport, Neil & Yvonne Reay-Bennett in this acoustic incarnation) are stalwarts of the West Cumbrian folk scene, plying a raucous folk trade - music for dancers, diggers and dreamers with the rhythm of the earth in its boots.
