Edit Listing Information

The English Folk Dance and Song Society has in various guises, worked to preserve, develop and promote folk music for well over 100 years. It's work extends beyond just music per se but also encompasses dance, song and traditions of our the country.

Today it has over 3,000 members and affiliated clubs and organisations, and is regarded as one of the premiere folk development and advocacy organisations in the UK.

Cecil Sharp House was opened in 1930 six years after the death of Sharp himself. Sharp's replacement as Director of the Society, Douglas Kennedy oversaw the merger of the two premier folk societies of the time to bring together the strong, unified EFDSS as it is today within its Headquarters in Cecil Sharp House.
