| All workshops 14:00-18:00 with a break for refreshments. We realise that some people need to leave earlier for various reasons, so the main dances for each session will be completed by 17:00, with some bonus material for those who can stay until 18:00. | ||
| Price: £10 per workshop. | ||
We invite you to a cosy celebration of song, dance and words while the snow falls outside and the river turns to ice. Bring family and friends to enjoy warming drinks and a substantial early supper of seasonal recipes of the past. Country dancing to lively music will keep Jack Frost at bay!
Jointly organised by Bedford Early Dance & Music and Bedford Gallery Quire, the ticket price of £17 per head will include a substantial early supper with a menu created from recipes of the period. Family and friends welcome. See the flyer and booking form for details.
Brickhill Community Centre (Avon Drive, Bedford, MK41 7AF), is about 2 miles north of Bedford town centre, just off Kimbolton Road (B660) at the intersection of Avon Drive and Waveney Avenue. There is a car park at the hall. Bus route no 6 runs every 12 minutes from Bedford bus station and stops just outside [Timetable].
The door is normally locked, so use the intercom beside it to call the upper hall. When admitted, go through the doors to the back of the building and take the stairs up to the first floor.
The community centre car park entrance is adjacent to the bus stop on Avon Drive in the centre of the map below. Click 'View larger map' to go to the Google Maps web site for directions.
Arrangements for all events will be contingent on public health guidance at the time.
