Welcome to the web site of the North West Early Music Forum. We are the first of the regional forums founded in 1977  created for the study and enjoyment of a historically informed approach to the performance of mostly pre classical music. Our members are drawn from amateur and professional musicians many of whom live in the North West of England and  North Wales.

What do we do?

Our main focus is on the practical study of music through workshops and a Summer School. The workshops are held over a wide area from the South Lake District to North East Wales. Summer School is held in Chester. We also hold a library of musical instruments which are available for students of early music to borrow before purchasing their own.

Our newsletter is published 5 times a year.

 

We are keen to encourage anybody interested in early music to join us so do look at our membership information.
