Halsway - the heart and home of folk arts

.

Halsway Manor – National Centre for Folk Art is a registered charity set up to promote and support the practice of the traditional folk arts, especially those practised in England.

This includes traditional folk dance, folk music, song, folklore, storytelling, arts and crafts.  It is the only residential centre in the world concentrating on the varied folk heritage of England. For over 50 years Halsway Manor has hosted unique experiences and inspired thousands of people to experience folk dance, song, music and art.

Support

We support the practice of traditional folk arts through residential weekend or midweek courses.

.

Nurture

We nurture folk artists through bursaries and professional development retreats.

Halsway Manor is in the background of a group of mostly young people gathered on the steps in front of the front door. They are all holding folky instruments (violins, guitars, harps, cellos and accordions) and looking at the camera.

Nourish

We introduce the next generation of folk artists through Halsway Young Folk.
