Description

Part of Manchester Folk Festival 2027

Manchester Folk Festival are proud to announce that a Sacred Harp singing workshop will take place in the stunning surrounds of Hallé St Peter’s.

Sacred Harp is an American tradition rooted in the hymns and folk tunes of the 1800s, which refers to the human voice. It is sung in unaccompanied four-part harmony, at full volume. This session will introduce you to shapenote and the joy of joining massed voices to sing your heart out.

Price and Access Information

There is no age limit, however we advise that the workshop will definitely be fun for adults but would probably bore children to tears, so we recommend ages 16+

Access info: the venue has three floors (Basement, Ground Floor, First Floor). Each floor has level access and can be accessed via staircase or a wheelchair accessible passenger lift. Non-fixed cushioned seating is available throughout. If you have any special access requirements please let us know in advance by emailing info@englishfolkexpo.com

If you are a wheelchair user or require an essential companion ticket, please email info@englishfolkexpo.com to let us know before purchasing a ticket.
