Workshops 2023

Immersive tuition in the Traditional Arts

Small-group workshops in fiddle, whistle and song that let you work on your own musicianship while taking part in the wider Festival.

Tutors will tailor the teaching level to the group but we recommend that workshoppers are at an intermediate level or above – sorry we can’t provide beginners instrumental workshops.
