National Youth Folklore Troupe of England
Dates
Calendar for 2021
With the Covid-19 pandemic none of the team's 2020 public events took place. While we had prepared a calendar for 2021, mostly on the basis of carrying over events from 2020, many of those have also been cancelled or moved on line.
It is out intention to set up face to face practices are restrictions and prudence permit, starting with small groups rather than the whole team. We hope to perform in public later in the year. As we become more confident that the public events will take place we will publish them here.
