Dunton Folk organises a series of folk music concerts throughout the year and folk music sessions in the March Hare Public House. The group also organises the annual Wassail in an orchard in the centre of Dunton.
The folk music concerts take place in the superb setting of St Mary Magdalene Church. The acoustics of the church lend themselves to live music, and a superb atmosphere is generated when music is performed. A full bar is provided at all concerts by John and Janice of the March Hare pub.
The sessions are held on the first Tuesday of each month from 8pm onwards in the March Hare pub in the centre of Dunton. The sessions are informal and new musicians are always welcome. Visitors are welcome to join in or simply listen.
The wassail is held in January each year at an orchard in Dunton. The event features morris dancers, singers, musicians, and a mummers’ play. Mulled cider is served before the apple trees are woken with singing and other loud noises. Afterwards, the group retires to the March Hare for more cider and an evening of music.
