On the first Friday of every month, Moorside Town Hall throws open its doors for an evening of live folk music in the beautiful Victorian hall.
Each night features a headline act drawn from the best of the contemporary folk scene — past guests have included Lankum, The Unthanks, Sam Sweeney, and Eliza Carthy — supported by emerging artists from the Yorkshire and Lancashire scenes. After the headline set, we clear the chairs and run a genuine open session until late: bring an instrument, bring a voice, or just come and listen with a pint in hand.
The bar is open until 11:30pm with cask ales from local breweries including Vocation, Little Valley, and Bridestones. The Town Hall is a ten-minute walk from Moorside railway station, with regular services from Manchester and Leeds.
