For over a decade, The Harrison music pub in Kings Cross has held extremely popular bi-annual All Day Folk Festivals. These infamously vibey events featured a huge array of genuine musicians, playing their hearts out.
Sadly, the pandemic put a pause to these events, but now The Harrison returns with 5 festivals monthly, to make up for all those lost to the Pandemic.
Due to their popularity they will be held at the very beautiful and much larger Jamboree Venue, around the corner in Kings Cross.
SUNDAY ROAST at The Harrison Pub (5 mins walk away). An All Day Folk Festival is not complete without enjoying a famous SUNDAY ROAST from The Harrison.
You ticket to the Jamboree event includes re-entry, so you can pop over to The Harrison (5 mins walk) and grab yourself a delicious Sunday Roast.
We expect to be very busy, so if you wish to eat at The Harrison, PLEASE BOOK YOUR TABLE IN ADVANCE HERE- www.harrisonbar.co.uk
The Harrison All Day Folk Festivals @ Jamboree are kindly supported by the Music Venues Trust, the Mayor of London and the Arts Council England.
With everyone's help we hope these 5 events will raise enough money, to clear a large chunk of The Harrison's Covid debt.
