The full schedule for bands and DJs will be confirmed soon. The headline act, The Firebirds, will perform last at 8 pm inside the venue on a spacious wooden dance floor.

For this inaugural event, attendance is capped at 250 to ensure ample space in case of indoor relocation due to inclement weather. If successful, we plan to expand with marquee space next year.

The entire event can be moved indoors. The beer festival will occur in the venue's main bar, and music performances will take place in the main function room, accommodating all scenarios.

All overnighters must leave by 12 noon.

Dress comfortably for the outdoor event; many attendees opt for traditional 50s attire with flat shoes for dancing on the pitch.

You can enter from 11 am.

No obligation to dance; the festival is for everyone. Learn a few moves at Mama D's jive sessions at the event or simply enjoy the music and atmosphere. Mama D also runs weekly learn to dance sessions at Pyle and Barry.

No you do not need a partner. You will be rotated and get to dance with everyone there, so it's really social too!

Sadly, due to the new resident parking rules, directly outside the venue is resident only. Recently we have noticed enforcement vehicles, so please do not park outside if you can help it. The venue does have a small car park next door fits about 10 cars, however, as it's just us there, we all bunch up and block each other in and we fit many more in! Please only park here if you are staying for the full duration of the class otherwise it will be a pain to ask people to move their cars for you! Clive Road and Phyllis Street are the nearest parking locations that are not restricted parking. The nearest free parking are the two hour parking spaces further up from the club in Redbrink Crescent, the nearest paid parking would be down at the beach. Cars can be parked in Phylis Street and Clive Road which do not have parking restrictions and is within walking distance.

No, classes are very casual so wear something comfortable and layers for when you get hot!

No this is not a course. New beginners join us every week, and it doesn't matter if you miss a week or two, you will soon pick it back up!

Yes, there is plenty of parking in the Club's car park.

Water yes. But as we are operating a very reasonably priced bar at our classes we like our dancers to support that, therefore own drinks are not permitted.

Just £5 per person, currently payable with cash or card.

Of course you can. However I do discourage it because: 1 - You will not get the benefit of the social side of rock n roll! 2 - You may get into bad habits with each other! 3 - Leaders may not properly get to lead, and follows may not properly get to follow, which means when you are asked to dance by others, you may struggle.

Mama D actively encourages you to film the improvers class at the end to help you remember the moves!

Leaders, wear something comfortable and casual. Follows, no high heels and make sure the soles of your shoes are not too grippy to help you with spinning and turning.

I will always try to have a selection of gluten free and vegan cake alternatives. In addition I supply herbal teas and not dairy milk for your drinks.

Oh yes! We provide free flowing tea, coffee and cake...well it wouldnt be a tea dance without cake now would it!

You can book via this website and we take all major debit and credit cards. Please click on the event you would like to book and then follow instructions.

Due to the nature of event, and the fact that we enjoy cake as part of the deal, I like to ensure that everyone get's a seat...and I know how many to cater for! The venue can fit 120 comfortably and that's also plenty of people to create a lovely atmosphere. If everyone just pays on the door, there is the possibility of turning people away, so booking online helps me to manage that. Of course I understand not everyone has the tech to do this...if this is the case, please call me on 07446 091026.

We kindly ask that you do not get there early, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and want you to arrive when the venue is set up completely and the band have finished their sound check!

Absolutely not. Free tea and coffee is available throughout the afternoon, however as a licensed premises we ask you to support the local venue by buying soft or alcoholic drinks as much as possible.
