Folktone Productions CIC is a UK-based cultural organisation dedicated to sharing the rich traditions of Hungarian folk music and dance with international audiences through performances, workshops, and community events. Bringing together musicians, dancers, and educators from across Europe, Folktone aims to create welcoming, interactive experiences where audiences can not only watch but also participate.

At Stamford, the ensemble will feature musicians including Bence Vörösmarty, possibly Ádám Romer, Tamás Ferencz, and Nándor Kiss, alongside dancers from the Hunique Dance Ensemble.

The performance will introduce audiences to the vibrant world of Hungarian folk culture through live music, energetic dancing, and interactive teaching sessions. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn simple traditional social dances and experience the communal spirit of the Hungarian táncház (“dance house”) tradition — a UNESCO-recognised cultural heritage practice centred around music, dance, and community participation.
