Welcome to Bath Folk Club, hosted at Widcombe Social Club in Bath. Housed in the historic Widcombe area just south of Bath Spa station, this non-profit community venue offers two versatile spaces for live music: The Wharf Room, our main function space with a stage and in-house sound, seating options, and a capacity of 200; and The Waterside Bar, a more intimate 100-capacity room ideal for relaxed evenings. Whether a seated show with end-on or in-the-round arrangements or a standing gig, we’ve got you covered with a welcoming, no-fuss ticket experience.

Widcombe Social Club opened in 2016 after a redevelopment of the landmark Widcombe Workmen’s Club, continuing Bath’s tradition of community-driven venues. Friday Waterside Nights bring free live music in the Waterside space, making it a beloved part of Bath’s local arts scene. For travelers and locals alike, Bath Folk Club provides a friendly, casual setting to enjoy folk, roots, and related genres in a historic Bath neighborhood.
