Come to the ceilidh: 100 years of Woodcraft Folk, 23rd November

What they said:

Join us at the Carlton Club in Whalley Range for a Sunday night of celebration and dancing to commemorate 100 Years of Woodcraft Folk. The fabulous Ceilidh band, Hopgoblin will be providing the live music and the amazing Tibetan Kitchen are providing the food. There will be a raffle supported by the Coop, additional funds raised from the raffle and ticket sales will help support the activities and ongoing costs of Manchester district groups as well as Camp 100.

What we said:

We're more than a bit delighted to have been asked to help celebrate 100 years of the very fine Woodcraft Folk with a ceilidh - surely there's no better way to celebrate. Check out their 'About' page, it's a seriously impressive organisation. 

Tickets are available from Ticketsource
