Norfolk folk clubs

I am going to Norfolk in May and would like to know what folk clubs or singarounds there are. I have a small campervan and would like to know of any campsites near the clubs or if it would be possible to park overnight in the pub car park

Little Bird Told Me is probably the best resource for clubs/events folk/folkish in Norfolk.

You could try reading Mardles, the East Anglian folk magazine, available as a download from:

I've just paid the £1 for a download. Club event wise, it's a bit thin.

Taking the nearest 3 to me and working in date order for this month, there is:

8th April - (second Monday) - The Cottage, Cromer - I think singaround format.

14th April - (second Thursday) - Vernon Arms, Southrepps - usually works round the room. More tunes than songs.

28th April - (last Thursday) - Horseshoes, Alby - singaround with the occasional tune.

There would be a few other regular once a month type venues in North Norfolk in between, eg. Blakney (I think on a Sunday) and maybe still Sherringham...

The 3 I mentioned are in LBTM although the sessions I'd prefer to get to in Norwich when I do fancy some (Irish) tunes and am able to get out are not listed.

Thanks for all the info. I have never been to Norfolk before and I am really looking forward to seeing the sights and taking in some folk music. Cheers
