Folk in the Forest

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.

Burnt Horse are a 5-piece from North Cumbria playing ukulele, guitar, bass, cello and fiddle. Mixing laid-back harmonies with fast paced rousing anthems, the group are inspired by songs which tell stories about people and places.

J P Worsfold is a writer of emotional contemplative contemporary folk songs that speak of connection, joy and belonging - songs to evoke life’s deeper meaning, inspire connection within ourselves and the natural space around us.
