A donation of £510 for their annual Poppy Appeal was made at a recent Feature Night at the club.

This was the club’s first charity donation of their 2026/2027 season but they have supported the RBL Poppy Appeals since their post pandemic opening in 2021and to date have made donations to them amounting to £2260. During the 2025/2026 season the club gave away in excess of £2300 in donations to local charities.

Mansfield Folk and Acoustic Club meets every Monday, including most Bank Holidays, at the Forest Town Arena. Doors open 7pm for 7.30pm start and the aim is to finish at 10pm.

Anyone interested in playing, singing or listening to all forms of acoustic music will be offered a warm welcome. More details can be had by emailing Elaine at [email protected].
