Thursday afternoons, 2 till 4.15
Grace, Music & Movement: Join us on the Dancefloor.
Ballroom, Latin, Sequence and the occasional line dance to music from KD Sound, with tea, coffee and a biscuit or cake laid on during the interval. No partner needed, no experience required, and no need to book — just come along.
Everyone dances
Arrive alone, in a pair, or in a group — our hosts make sure nobody sits out longer than they'd like to. Regulars are always glad to take a turn with a new face.
Tea, properly done
A dedicated interval with self-service tea, coffee and a biscuit or cake, so you can help yourself, catch your breath and socialise before the music starts up again.
Something for everyone
KD Sound provide the music for a varied programme of Ballroom, Latin, Sequence, and the occasional line dance to keep things lively.

Music for every dance
KD Sound provide the music for our Thursday afternoons, playing a varied programme of Ballroom, Latin, Sequence and the occasional line dance through a proper sound system set up in the hall. Requests are welcome throughout the afternoon, at the DJ's discretion.
"I came on my own the first time, terrified I wouldn't know a soul. By the second dance I had three new partners and a slice of Victoria sponge waiting for me."

Before you come
Good to know
Do I need to bring a partner?
Most people come as couples, though there are usually a few mixed singles happy to take a turn on the floor, so you're welcome to come alone too.
Do I need to know how to dance?
No — there's no tuition available, but regulars will often assist or guide you if you're finding your feet.
What should I wear?
Smart and comfortable — flat or low-heeled shoes with a smooth sole dance best on our floor. Many people like to dress up a little, but it's entirely your choice.
Is there parking nearby?
Yes, there's a free car park directly in front of the hall, plus free street parking on the surrounding roads where available.
Can I just turn up on the day?
Yes — there's no booking system, so simply come along on the day. Admission is £6 on the door.
