Come along to our Tea Dance at Southern Maltings and enjoy the magic of live vintage music, classic ballroom styles, and friendly faces. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a total beginner, these events are a welcoming and joyful way to spend your day.
Our tea dances are brought to life by none other than The Barry Sapsford Swing Orchestra – a fabulous 10-piece band known for their timeless tunes and toe-tapping rhythms. From elegant waltzes to upbeat jives, they’ll keep your feet moving and your heart smiling with a nostalgic repertoire from the 1920s through to the 1960s.
Each Tea Dance at Southern Maltings features two lively sets of music (around 45 minutes each), giving you plenty of time to twirl through the quickstep, foxtrot, tango, rumba, cha-cha-cha and more. In between sets, take a well-earned breather with a cuppa and a sweet treat, just like they did in the glory days of the tea dance.
You don’t need a partner or any fancy footwork to join in—just a love of music and a willingness to have fun. Our tea dances are open to all ages and abilities, creating a relaxed, sociable space where you can meet new people, learn some steps, and enjoy a bit of nostalgic flair right in the heart of Ware.
Check out all our other events, from workshops to life drawing and from live music to theatre.
