For 2024 we will have at least 10 dance venues, one in each of our main festival venues as listed below. At least one will have a large wooden dance floor and all of them will have an alternative undercover location if it is wet. At least four more dance venues are available if we need them.
Bridge Yard: A fabulous position overlooking the Town Bridge and river and with a very popular cafe/ restaurants with indoor and outdoor seating. Il Fuime serves the very best of the Italian regions, all of your favourite dishes and some new twists too.
Our second dance venue in Bridge Yard is outside the new River Spice Indian restaurant which already has a strong following.
Westbury Gardens: Dancing overlooking the river and under the town’s giant trees. It will have wooden dance floor for Appalachian and all forms of clog/tap dancing. This is festival central where you’ll find our Welcome Tent selling programmes and commemorative badges, the Pagan Arts & Crafts Market, The Greatest Little Coffee Box On Earth, a fast food stall and of course a cider and beer tent.
The Bull PIt: The Swan has recently closed but as it’s one of our most popular venues we are sorting out riverside dancing in the Bull Pit outside The Swan’s car park.
Lamb Yard: A labyrinth of shops based in and around converted mill buildings in the heart of the town. Dancing will be outside the Mill Cafe and Pablo’s Bistro where they serve expertly prepared delicious meat, fish, vegetarian and vegan Spanish tapas.
The Library Car Park is now the home of our children’s’ Fun Zone and the site of our fun fair. There weil be dancing outside the library all day with a fast food stay to keep you going.
St Margaret’s Hall Car Park: will be the site of our artisan market, a bar and a fast food outlet. The Folk Club stage will be inside the hall.
Outside Holy Trinity Church: Across the footbridge from the artisan market, overlooking the river and en-route to our Trinity Market and the Wiltshire Music Centre stage in the church.
