Just outside our county borders, The Brick Kiln Garden Centre is staging the next of its 'Folk Live' concerts on the 3rd December: Vicky Swann and Jonny Dyer are presenting their Christmas Show. Start time is 3.30, and full details are available here - www.brickkilngardencentre.co.uk/events/. The site gives all the necessary details for ticket purchase; tickets include a Festive cream Tea. Doors open at 3.00.

Also a little outside our borders, the Chichester Folk Song Club meets every Monday at the Chichester Inn in West Street. Usually once a month, it is a Guest Night; the November guest is Shake Me Up Sally on the 18th, and in December, on the stage is Jim Causley's Christmas Show on the 9th. Remember there is an informal session at 7.45 until the club proper opens at 8.15. See their website www.chifolksongclub.co.uk/ for more information and to look at their "latest poster" for the diary of events.

We have moved many of the venues we have been including on this page to our Folk Clubs and Arts Centres dairy. We hope in future to include a few more venues in and around our area. This change is also reflected in our journal 'Solent Waves', as now we do not have limitations of numbers of pages and printing/distribution costs, we can make the diaries longer.

Loads of events at Halsway Manor - see their website for a timetable and to book https://halswaymanor.org.uk/; also lots of details on these and other events in the area on the SAD Folk website www.sadfolk.co.uk/listings.php
