I run a weakly [sp] music & song sesh in a super real ale pub in Chester.

There's a number of other similar events go on run by others both locally & further afield into Cheshire county, N. Wales & surrounding areas.

However, there's nowhere appropriate as far as I've researched in the immediate vicinity.

Drawing on my prior experiences attending others mini-fests, gatherings, etc, I concluded that the best settings for such occasions are best situated well away from mass population centres - in rural settings, which hopefully will avoid attracting the attentions of the wrong sort of people [he said pompously!] such as opportunist thieves making off with instruments from tents, cara/ campervans etc or causing drunken noise/ stroke aggression in the venue.
