North Lowestoft, LowestoftAbout the night
Waveney Folk Club meets here on alternate Fridays, 8pm to 11pm. Roughly half the nights are singers' nights, an open floor singaround where local performers and visitors play songs and tunes; the other nights have a booked guest artist, though the club says it welcomes floor singers and asks anyone who wants to sing to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Singers' nights earlier in 2026 included 3, 17 and 31 July; the autumn programme lists guest artists on 6 and 20 November and 4 December 2026. Admission is 6 pounds 50 when a booked guest artist is performing; the singers' night price is not published. There is no bar at the hall, so bring your own drinks. A separate Waveney Acoustic Singaround Club is also listed at the same hall on alternate Fridays.
