Who we are and what we do
Furness Tradition is a folk-arts development group based in the Furness market town of Ulverston on the edge of the Lake District in north-west England. The group was initiated by volunteers to celebrate, encourage and make familiar the musical inheritance of the Furness and South Lakeland area of South Cumbria.

Education and Community
Furness Tradition organises and provides music, dance and story telling workshops and performances in schools and community venues throughout South Lakeland and the Furness Peninsula.

We liaise with other local and regional folk music, dance and storytelling providers of performances and workshops in Furness.
