The Houghton Weavers have been entertaining folk for many years with their unique blend of popular folk music, humour and audience participation. Their annual winter tour brings festive fun, stories and songs to the stage.

Having recorded over thirty albums, and recently being one of the headline acts at The Great British Folk Festival, their single Wild Mountain Thyme recently reached top forty in the Heritage Charts Top 40 and is set to be featured in the upcoming film Between Weathers.

The Houghton Weavers promise plenty of laughter with their infectious humour and funny stories galore. You’ll hear a warming mix of festive tunes as well as the old favourites such as Blackpool Belle, Sit Thi Deawn, Matchstalk Men and Dirty Old Town together with new songs penned by the boys, original poems and audience requests thrown in to make every show a little different!

Jim Berry, Steve Millington and their world class guest musicians will certainly have you singing along to this feel-good show!

The Houghton Weavers guarantee a wonderful evening of entertainment and their experience – together with their style and professionalism – ensures that, as their motto says, they always Keep Folk Smiling!
