A not-for -profit organisation that promotes and enables folk arts activities in South Devon

I set up this organisation in 2000 to encourage participation in folk related activities. We have run several projects in folk music and dance for children and adults.

Good News! (22/9/07) Action Folk have been successful in it's application for funding. An award of £2150 means planned workshops can get started and hopefully continue long into the future with your support.

More Good News. (Jan 2008) Through Action Folk I have applied for and been awarded, by PRS, a grant of £1000 to incorporate electronics into 3dB Ceildh Band. Details to follow
