Folk Train

The folk trains have been running successfully for many years with full support from Northern Trains and are well known to folk music fans in the Manchester area and to fans living locally along the Glossop line. It is organised and run by a small team of passionate volunteers, independently of High Peak & Hope Valley CRP.

The Glossop folk train runs once every month on the fourth Thursday evening of the month. The band and a good number of folk music fans board the 18.33 Manchester Piccadilly – Glossop train with the band playing in the front carriage as the train makes it station stops along the line picking up more participants along the way.

Glossop Labour Club is a short walk from the station and forms the venue for another set of songs from the folk band whilst everyone enjoys a drink and light refreshments purchased from the bar. Then it’s time to catch the 21.22 train back to Manchester.

So for a fantastic trip out filled with good music, good company and grand views from your seat on the train, do join the next folk train!

Details of each event are posted on the Manchester Folk Trains Fan Page Facebook group. Please note this group is not run or moderated by High Peak and Hope Valley CRP. Click here to visit the group on Facebook: Facebook.
