It's our Christmas Party Family Barn Dance! Grab the best/worst Christmas jumper you have, get your face painted, eat some lovely snacks, and head onto the Barn Dancing Floor for some funky and fun dances. All our dances will be simple and fun, and based on traditional country and ceilidh dances.. this is not just for the children! Mums, Dads and Carers will have to dance too. It's super fun and super simple dancing that involves everyone!   We host different dances for different age groups so everyone has a go. What will your fancy dress be?

About The Dancing
Although called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all traditional and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves! We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music! Simple, good, old fashioned fun, although tweaked and modified by ourselves - 21st Century Barn Dance! You really don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go.

Diversity and Inclusivity Policy

Whilst the music and dances come from predominantly Anglo-saxon and Celtic culture, everyone is welcome to come enjoy the dancing and experience these aspects of the folk culture of the British Isles. We welcome family units of any type and configuration. We want to bring everyone together to dance together, which is how it should be.
