This page provides information for potential suppliers to Folk Camps and for landowners and village hall committees that may host Folk Camps in future.
Folk Camps activity holidays started out in the early 1960s when a group of folk enthusiasts decided it would be fun to go on holiday together, eat together and make their own entertainment without spending a fortune. Within a few years it became a not-for-profit limited company and a registered charity with the purpose of preserving and promoting traditional music, song and dance.
Folk Camps is a trading style for Folk Camps Society Ltd. It is a company limited by guarantee (Reg No 931434) and a registered charity (No 255901).
