The listing below is of our regional get togethers which are organised by our members. Please note, these events are for mixed hammered and mountain dulcimer unless specified.

For all in-person events sponsored by Nonsuch please follow this COVID-19 Guidance.

  • South Wales Meetings

    A Welsh Dulcimers session is being organised on occasional Wednesday afternoons at TABERNACLE CONGREGATIONAL CHAPEL, Chapel Terrace, Rhiwderin, NEWPORT, NP10 8RH. We are mainly a Mountain Dulcimer group and during the first hour we concentrate on tunes that are easier for new and less confident players. After a break for lunch (we all take our own although hot drinks are available) we choose harder tunes.

  • Midlands – Make and Play Hammered Dulcimer Practice Nights

    We currently meet on the 2nd Thursday (evening, 7:30pm - 9:45pm) and 4th Saturday (afternoon, 2pm - 4:15pm) of every month. This does occasionally vary so please contact Sally Whytehead, Tel: 01527 64229, to confirm arrangements. We charge £2 per dulcimer player to go towards the room cost.

  • Wessex Meets

    This is new regional group meeting in the Dorset / Somerset area. Contact Jill Nicholas for details.

  • South Western Meets

    We are an all-ability group and we aim to have fun! We focus on the mountain dulcimer, but welcome all instruments. We try to play three or four familiar tunes from our core repertoire, by ear if possible; learn new tunes brought by anyone who wishes; cover a learning point or two; and of course have a chat!
