These venues present and produce a wide spectrum of folk arts as well as providing artists with huge choice of where to put on their own shows. Visiting artistes from all over the UK and beyond can be found for your entertainment, with many of them giving the opportunity to participate in the proceedings too.
Some of our favourite venues are the numerous village halls, many not being used to their best potential. We aim to encourage the better use of these wonderful venues as one of the core aims of Wiltshire Folk Arts .
