We will be taking bookings for all Guest Nights for Spring 2025 from Saturday 2nd January. As seats are limited at both Guest Night venues, it is recommended that you book early in advance to avoid disappointment. We don't issue tickets as such but, if you have made a reservation, your name(s) will be on the list at the door.
We have not yet decided on a Ticketing Agency so, for the time being, bookings for Guest Nights and floor spots at Performers' Nights will continue to be made by email.
However, to secure your place(s) for certain Guest Nights, we are asking for payment to be made in advance by BACS. This decision was made by the WFC Team because, throughout 2025, we had a number of no-shows for Guest Nights.
If you book and pay for Guest Nights in advance but are ultimately unable to go we will do our best to re-sell your place from the waiting list, if there is one. BACS details are:
A/C Name: Warwick Folk Club
Sort Code: 20 57 44
A/C Number: 23057348
Please show your name on the payment and use the BACS reference shown against each guest and confirm back by email that you have paid by BACS, so that we can keep a note of it.
For this show, payment can be made in advance by BACS showing reference "WFC PG". Or you can pay at the door in cash or card.Floor spots bookable on robinjkaye@btinternet.com

Email: mail@temperance.bar
Nick Harper has announced a new tour and album '58 Fordwych Rd.', released September 26th, 2025.
It is nothing short of criminal, that Nick Harper is one the UK’s best kept musical secrets. Those who have witnessed the spellbinding, one-man show will tell you this. A childhood growing up surrounded by the musical prowess of some of the 60’s most revered songwriters & musicians, not to mention being son of Roy Harper, along with 20 years of crafting songs & touring the land has spawned a truly one-off, original guitarist & songwriter who stands alone as a UK great, to be cherished & revered.

Details: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwickshire/coventry-charterhouse/events/6c141511-9494-4f94-aa8c-383fc1506112?fbclid=IwY2xjawO_2TdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETExVmlQdVQ1a3F4RkxHUkRNc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHljZIblkQh2AqwvL2RK7EdWlrSDkB6lOfFuz29VN7wU9_efMLAJQaTPbOIWb_aem_YvvB65k1JvncdCRVQsTYug
Join us in the orchard at Coventry Charterhouse for a traditional wassail, an old winter custom rooted in community, music and wishing good health for the orchard in the year ahead.
Wassailing dates back to early medieval times and was traditionally held to honour orchard trees and encourage a good harvest. During the event, visitors will gather to take part in this simple ceremony, which includes singing, toasts and traditional rituals to awaken the trees from their winter rest.
The session will feature the Sherbourne Singers and Coventry Morris Dancers, who will lead wassail songs and dancing as we gather around the trees in the orchard and take part in the ceremony together. It’s a chance to experience a piece of living history and enjoy time outdoors in a shared, reflective way.
3:00pm - 5:00pm
