Things Going on in North Yorks

After Saltburn FF, ie between Monday 16 and Thursday 19 August, Sandy and I will be staying around the North Yorkshire / Pennines area in our campervan, ready for the start of Whitby FF, on Friday 20 August.
Does anyone know of any good folk clubs / English music sessions / singarounds / morris events we should not miss during that interegnum?
[We are more doers than listeners - I sing and play the concertina, including for morris, and Sandy plays a lovely mandolin]
Thanks!

The Blacksmith's Arms, Farlington, North Yorkshire - Wednesday 18 August, start 2030/2100 til whenever we finish - singers and players all welcome.

Farlington is 11 miles north of York, between Stillington and Sheriff Hutton. Beer is £1.22 a pint for Sam Smith's bitter. See the 'Blacksmith's Arms 16 July' music thread for further details and links to photos.

If you come, you'll be glad you did!

have a word with Jim and Mu Wilkinson who will be running a singaround at Saltburn and have their own club up there

I think there are also local clubs like Marske which I think runs on Thursdays and some go there pre festival
probably clubs at Guisbro' etc if not closed down for summer and festivals

Yorkshire Folk Arts: regional directory. There are certainly more things not yet listed there, of course.

You can try the "First In, Last Out" in Fishburn Park, Whitby, on Tuesdays, and Whitby Folk Club on Wednesdays at the Plough in Baxtergate.

Thanks for all the ideas, everyone. We will be spoilt for choice!
The Beast: The Blacksmith Arms looks very tempting - we will see if the campervan finds itself the south side of the North Yorkshire Moors!
el ted: Thanks very much for the offer of a bed if we are passing Glaisdale - I have noted your numbers from your PM!
