TwickFolk (previously known as Twickenham Folk Club) organises acoustic music events in and around Twickenham, south-west London. A registered charity,^[1] it is run, not for profit, by a small group of volunteers.^[2] It was established in January 1983^[2]^[3] and is now one of the best known and most highly respected folk clubs in London and the South East of England.^[4]

TwickFolk organises gigs on Sunday evenings, usually at the Patchworks music venue at The Cabbage Patch pub in London Road, Twickenham,^[5]^[6] featuring British and North American acoustic folk and roots-based music in a programme that includes blues, country music and Americana as well as traditional folk music.^[7] The evening usually consists of a main "guest" preceded by a support act or several floor spots.

Occasionally TwickFolk organises singers' nights. These consist of either several performed floor spots or an unplugged singaround where everyone sits in a circle and those who want to sing or play an instrument can take turns to do so.^[6]^[8] TwickFolk has also organised workshops on building a cigar box guitar^[9] and on playing guitar and nyckelharpa.^[10]

TwickFolk has also held charity fundraising nights benefiting national and local charities.^[2]^[3]
