Sore Fingers October Weekend 2026

23rd - 25th Oct 2026

Another October Sore Fingers Weekend is on its way to round off the Bluegrass Summer season. As usual, we have an accomplished team of tutors to provide you with the best instruction on your chosen instrument and all from the UK or Europe. The talent at our disposal this side of the Atlantic is fabulous and these folk know just about all there is to know about playing acoustic music including Bluegrass, Old Time or other styles taught over the weekend. You will leave Lord Wandsworth College enriched with music and great memories!
We are running our usual classes for Bluegrass Banjo, Bass, Dobro, Bluegrass Fiddle, Guitar, Mandolin, Old Time Fiddle, Old Time Banjo, and Singing. We are also introducing some extra courses, check out the Tutor and Courses pages for more information.
