EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CLUB
HUNGRY HORSE FOLK CLUB
THE VENUE: -
Dunkirk Lane / Chester Road
Ellesmere Port, Cheshire CH65 6QF
It was founded in 2005 at The Rake Pub/Restaurant
in Little Stanney, near to Cheshire Oaks Retail Park
The venue is part of the Hungry Horse chain of licensed premises. Hence the club name was chosen.
Its popularity grew week on week and many
top notch folk and acoustic entertainers appeared
there including Richard Digance, Steve Knightley,
Harvey Andrews, Julie Felix,
Anthony John Clarke and the like
In July 2011, whilst searching for larger premises
for their folk festival, (the WIRRAL FOLK FESTIVAL),
the club organisers found its present venue
It was formerly called the Whitby Sports & Social Club
and is best known locally as - The Shell Club
It is a very large, modern, single storey building
with full disabled access to all rooms and excellent
facilities for all types of sport and leisure activity
It is located on the corner of the junction of Chester Road and Dunkirk Lane, not far from the town centre of Ellesmere Port (a bus stops outside)
The post code for your Sat. Nav. is - CH65 6QF
Apart from a couple of weeks over the
Christmas & New Year period the club runs
every Thursday evening
There you will find two dedicated folk music
enthusiasts - ANGIE and JOHN OWEN - with the
help of a small willing group of volunteer
friends and family presenting all that
is best in folk and acoustic music
PLEASE NOTE:
All nights COMMENCE at 7-45pm
CONCERT NIGHTS
(Ticket charge)
The OAK ROOM is a
superb high quality function suite with its own bar and catering facilities and on
at least one Thursday of each month professional folk artistes appear
A good mix of music from the tradition and more modern singer/songwriter entertainment gives this
type of night a 'something
for all occasion'
There is a door charge and we
recommend that tickets
are purchased in advance for many of these concerts.
Tickets can be purchased
by ringing

recent years on stage here including:
