Purbeck Folk Club aims to bring you events throughout the year with local musicians as well as those from across the country. Our events are usually held on the first Thursday of the month.
The Club (no membership required) is held at
Langton Matravers Village Hall (opposite the church)
High Street, BH19 3HA.
For details of our next event, see below. If you’d like to join the mailing list for our newsletter, you can do so here.
Purbeck Folk Club is not-for-profit. Our aim is to keep music live in the community.
See reviews of the Club below:
Our next event will be on Thursday 5th February 2026, when local singer-songwriter Pete Christie makes his debut at the Club. Pete is described as a “fingerstyle guitarist who plays from the heart and sings from the soul”. He has played across the country and in mainland Europe, including a few times at Swanage Blues Festival, Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, and Swanage Folk Festival.
Pete will be supported by Millie Watson who’s also making her debut at the Club. Millie’s music is “deeply embedded in folky roots and showcases her silky voice and husky tones”. In 2023 Millie won the “best newcomer” award at the Dorset music awards.
