Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: GUEST,MCP Date: 24 Jun 02 - 04:04 PM Have a look at the festival listing at fRoots (You can save it onto your own computer for later browsing at leisure - that's what I do). Amongst the delights for the coming weekend (June 28-30) are The Four Fools at Chorley, Leigh-on-Sea as mentioned by Kevin, The Nailers' Moot at Belper, a charity festival at Digby (Lincs) and quite a few more. Many have web sites linked from the listing, those that don't have contact telephone numbers usually. Mick |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: janey Date: 24 Jun 02 - 04:27 PM How about The olde Dungeon Ghyll at top of Langdale Valley in the lakes? Camping on the National Trust Campsite? There is real ale and often a bit of music, good scenery and all that. Has anyone been to the Nailers Moot at Belper? What is it like? Was it you in ALchester? |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Abuwood Date: 25 Jun 02 - 03:21 AM Thanks Nutty, was at Alcester, and can see Beverley Minster from Mum's flat, so would not be allowed to camp (or drink!) just need a Helmsley monthly! We are booked for Shellbacks and Foxs most weekends until August an it is then that we wanted to get away with no respsonsibilities! Yes Janey that was me at Alcester it was a good do but I didn't get time to sit and sing in a singaround:-( Thank you for reminding me about the Old Dungeoen Ghyll, I went there in my first life 20 years ago when I wasn't into folk- Do they still have an Irish Wolfhound? |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Trevor Date: 25 Jun 02 - 04:23 AM Come to our little party at Squilver, in the hills of South Shropshire. Singing, playing, dancing Saturday afternoon and evening, communal breakfast on Sunday followed by pub session (and it fits your time frame). Big Nev's Ale, brewed down the road in Bishops Castle. Camping and a bit of indoor space available as well. It's a private do, usually 60 or so people, many of whom were at the Bishops Castle festival the other weekend. PM me if you're interested and I'll give you more details. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Grab Date: 25 Jun 02 - 02:21 PM There's usually a session every Saturday night at the Three Stags, possibly the best (and smallest!) pub ever. That's at Wardlow Mires in the Peak District. Very popular with climbers and walkers. And there's a campsite just alongside which costs £1 to the farmer who owns the field (not much in the way of facilities, just a single toilet and a basin with cold water, but for £1 you can't really argue). There's better campsites further away, but it's a big bonus to be able to drink what you like, especially at the 3 Stags which has incredible beer. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: GUEST,Richard Bridge (cookie and format C) Date: 25 Jun 02 - 06:00 PM 6th July, Mariners Arms, Rainham, Kent folk ale day. 7th July 55th birthiversary of the Canopus (pub) ROchester named after the Short bros plane - the pub used to be the works pub - with folk 'n'stuff.

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 25 Jun 02 - 06:07 PM Camping, singaround, and (probably) ale? That's where I'll be this weekend, but in Barrie, Ontario! It's a Paltalk get-together. I expect to have a wonderful time and sing myself hoarse! Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 25 Jun 02 - 09:20 PM Don't know what part of the Midlands you're in, but Cathy Lesurf & friends are running a festival at Thoresby Park near Ollerton (north Notts) Friday & Saturday 5 & 6 July - "the world in one county." From memory it's £15 (£2 for kids) and a nominal charge for camping. If you're interested in this one, semd me a personal message and I'll give you Cathy's email address. (Tickets, and maybe some details, are available from Nottingham Playhouse - 0115 9419419.) On a somewhat larger scale there's the annual Fairport Convention reunion at Cropredy, 8-10 August. I wouldn't be surprised if Cathy's on the bill there too. The Cambridge Folk Festival (August 1-4) has the most spectacular line-up, as usual - all days sold out. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Grab Date: 24 Apr 03 - 05:45 PM Mr Happy, assuming you mean the one in the Peaks, I don't know. I've not been there for ages now, not since I posted that. Last I heard it was fairly quiet - the climbers and walkers who used to go there don't seem to turn up as much any more, and there aren't as many musicians either. Summer's usually busier though, so just see. I'm planning a trip up there with a friend sometime in the summer, so I guess I'll find out. The beer will still be on, and the room will still be free, at least - the only question is whether you'll be on your own or whether there'll be other people there as well. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: Mr Happy Date: 11 Nov 03 - 07:19 AM Any of these kind of events coming up for Nov & Dec? After successfully camping at Audlem Bagpipe & Hurdy Gurdy Day last w/end, me & fiends are ready for more winter camping & folking about. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: alanww Date: 12 Nov 03 - 07:12 AM Hi Mr Happy! Try the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival on 9 to 11 Jan 2004. Its free and there is loads of fringe singing/music. Not sure about camping or caravanning though. I put my campervan in the car park of the Boat Inn. "Dancing and singing, bell ringing ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? From: IanC Date: 12 Nov 03 - 08:38 AM Not sure ... I am usually elsewhere during the weekend. There's indoor camping but no mention of anything outdoors. Here's the brochure. There's more info on this thread and a few people who would be able to tell you. :-) |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? - UK From: GUEST,kathy Date: 22 Feb 04 - 07:26 AM You are very welcome to join us at the Fox and Hounds, Bridestowe on Dartmoor on the 14/15/16 May. Excellent campsite, owned by the pub, a bunk house for indoor camping, an Irish landlord who loves having us there and, best of all, some seriously good singing. Small but very friendly. |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? - UK From: Zany Mouse Date: 22 Feb 04 - 06:36 PM The Caravan and Camping Club have a Folk section. They seem to be very active, although I haven't been to one of their events YET. Rhiannon |

Subject: RE: Singaround, Real Ale, Fri/Sat Camping? - UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 23 Feb 04 - 07:08 AM I don't know that I'd want to camp (in a tent) in March, but it would be OK in the caravan with a power hook-up for the radiator. Mind you some of the sites we've been on can be pretty muddy and it can be fun trying to get the caravan of the site again ! Over midsummer, there's always the Folkmob Knockholt weekend - I usually end up making a homebrew for it - and anyway "The Tally Ho" is only just 10 minutes down the lane. |
