Other venues

The Festival will continue to host some events in other offsite venues in Camden, enabling us to take the Festival into the early hours. So if you're a concert going dancer, this year you don't have to be torn between events - the Festival will host a separate weekend of dancing with the usual highest standard quality music and teaching.

Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.

More information will be here when available.
