Join us on Saturday 26th October from 19:20 for an evening on 20's, 30's and 40's music, food, drink and of course dancing!
Food and Drink
Some of the Drinks that will be available
As a 20's party we will of course be serving 20's food and 20's cocktails. On offer will be a selection of typical party food from the 1920s - Waldorf Salad, Devilled Eggs and Tuna Salad Wraps. There will be the usual array of drinks available but I am specifically providing three: Martini, Champagne Punch and Mint Julep. Bringing your own food and drink is encouraged although not required!

The playlist includes a mix of various genres of music with a focus on American big band jazz and swing music. There are also French chansons, Argentinian tangos, Brazilian sambas and Cuban rumbas.

It would be a shame not to have dancing at the party! For those that have never danced before, the dances in the Jazz age were very simple and we'll be able to teach everyone in no time.
If you want to learn more, the basics of the following dances will be useful:
