‘Categories’ will display events that are specifically participation, performance, or residential.
We appreciate it if players sign up to events in advance to make sure we have enough space and music for everyone, but don’t worry when there isn’t an enrolment form, as they will be made available nearer to the event.
We have an excellent car-sharing scheme in place. If you need a lift to an event, or if you have space in your car and would be happy to share your journey with another Cobwebber, please indicate this on the enrolment form. Not only does this make travelling more enjoyable, it also reduces the cost of fuel and keeps cars off the road!
If you’d like to receive regular emails about our events, please sign up to our mailing list. You can also read our News.
