VENUES

These are the Addresses of venues listed in the *Regular events* and *Monthly diaries*.

Folk clubs can close or change venue with little or no notice.

If you haven't been to a particular club before, please check before setting out.

Some venues require you to register as members 48 hours in advance.

This is because of Public Entertainment License regulations. Different Local Authorities have differing guidelines. Folk London strongly advises you to check in advance with the venue.

(* = this venue may not have advertised in the current diary listings.)
(** = venue does not usually advertise with us, but a useful link anyway.)
