About us

Championing the folk arts of England

The English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) is the national folk arts development organisation for England.

We champion the English traditional arts – music, song, dance, storytelling, customs and traditions – as part of the rich and diverse cultural landscape of the UK.

We deliver programmes of learning and participation and artists development:

through our arts venue, Cecil Sharp House

through our library and archive, the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library

and at a range of venues across England, and sometimes beyond.

We frequently work in partnership with arts, education and heritage organisations.

EFDSS is a membership organisation with around 3500 members worldwide. It is a Registered Charity with regular funding from Arts Council England.
