Hi, sorry if you've opened this thread expecting something else.
Some friends and I are planning a week sailing on the Norfolk Broads in early May and would like to find out if there are any waterside folk clubs, singarounds or sessions on the Broads.
We are starting from Stalham and ideally would be able to moor next to or very close to the venue. We would also need them to be 'pet friendly'
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Best of luck Bob (FWIW I can vouch for the pets!)

Refresh - any folk activity in the general area would help.

Here's a list from Mardles magazine of Norfolk Clubs and sessions.
You'll have to work out which ones are in the Broads area.

re the list:

I'm not sure but I think there might also be a Tue night in the Nelson, Norwich.

Thu night there is a sort of anything goes singaround/songs and tunes event. Sun is mostly Irish instrumental.

There is also a (strictly) Irish instrumental session in the Shed, Norwich on Wed and a last Thu of the month folk club in Alby.
