Pier Room, Old Ship Aground, Quay Street, Minehead, Somerset.
The Acorn Folk Club upholds traditional and contemporary folk music on the first Saturday of the months September to July in the Pier Room at The Old Ship Aground, Quay Street, Minehead from 8 pm. Occasionally a variation to the date is needed and will be detailed on both the News and Programme pages.
In August there is a summer break, with everyone looking forward to starting the next season each September!
Club Nights feature local artists in extended spots along with floor spots, welcoming everyone whether singing, playing, reciting or listening.
On alternate months The Acorn Folk Club hosts professional Guest Nights, and other performers are asked to arrive early if they would like a floor spot.
Entry is £1 and a raffle on Club nights, which covers expenses for the features, and also helps to subsidise Guest Nights, which are charged (£5 - £6) according to the artists with a reduction for purchasing tickets in advance.
There is always a warm welcome for everyone and a very good friendly atmosphere. We like to share cake on birthdays, have mince pies at Christmas and in January we have our Annual party when everyone is happy to contribute to the feast.
The Old Ship Aground is situated right next to the harbour in Minehead, and serves real ale and good food, and is an ideal venue for a folk club. Also Minehead "the gateway to Exmoor" is a good place to visit, and people further afield find it's worth coming for the whole weekend.
Some of the performers are available for bookings and they can be contacted through the Club or the links on the site; there is also an information table each month.
