tunes to seduce your ears and make your feet beg you to dance. If
a laid back atmosphere, a unique blend of music, friendly dancers and a
late finish sounds like your type of a night, then have we got a treat
for you.
We have a beautiful sprung maple dance floor, free parking, friendly dancers from all over the UK, a laid-back, relaxed, party atmosphere that is like no other.
