Activities & Events
The club holds three major dances each year—New Year, Spring, and Autumn—each featuring live music from a band.
The New Year Dance is a charity event, with all proceeds donated to a local charity.
The club also hosts ceilidhs, where members demonstrate Scottish dancing and raise charitable funds. These events have raised over £30,000 for the local hospice.
Every September, the club organises a week-long residential course at Halsway Manor in the Quantocks in Somerset. The week includes Scottish dancing tuition and enjoyable social dancing every evening.
The club prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming, making it an ideal place for anyone interested in Scottish Country Dancing, whether beginner or experienced.
