Wall, NE46 4DX

Head for St George’s Church in Wall, and you can park on the grassy areas next to the roadway, or anywhere around the village. If it’s busy, the road out of the village to the north usually has spaces next to the playing field. Then walk down the path from the church to the Village Hall (it’s the cowshed at the bottom of the path) – the hall isn’t accessible from the roads to the south as some sat navs indicate.

Our 12-piece string ensemble enjoys creating and playing arrangements of folk tunes in a variety of styles, under the guidance of the wonderful Stewart Hardy Music. We enjoyed our little concert in June, and thought we would open our doors again and share some seasonal music with friends and the local community. A retiring collection will be made for Wall Village Hall funds. We hope you can join us.
🎻🎄 NEFS Winter Residential 2025We are delighted to be holding another Winter Residential Weekend at the lovely Shepherds Dene Retreat Centre on 5th – 7th December 2025. We are planning a relaxed social weekend, with lots of fiddle playing, including our regular Saturday Workshop day with Stewart Hardy and Grace Smith.
Stewart and Grace will also be with us all weekend, joining in with the sessions, providing inspiration and support, and teaching extra workshops on the Sunday morning.
You can come just for the Saturday workshop, or add dinner and the evening sessions, the Sunday morning workshops, and bed & breakfast on either or both nights - entirely up to you! Details of all the options are on the website. We hope you can join us 🥰
