The sell-out legend lives on!!!!!
It was possible 2024 might be the last year. However, thanks to the support and generosity of Hilary and Keith Harvey...
...Saturday 4th October 2025 will be a lively evening of dancing and fun with the return of the acclaimed and generally brilliant ceilidh band Spinach for Norman.
We've had THREE YEARS of sell out successes with nearly 500 people each year having a brilliant evening dancing, eating, drinking and laughing in our real barn... don't delay buying tickets as numbers are limited!
AS WE SELL OUT, BUY WELL IN ADVANCE! This website is the only place to buy tickets in advance. There are no physical tickets available for the event. Sadly, and remarkably for a local fundraising event, there were Facebook resale scams for tickets previously: for this reason tickets are STRICTLY NON-TRANSFERABLE OR REFUNDABLE.
Cash and card payments accepted on the night. The event opens at 6pm, with the band starting at 6:30pm.

Great Food and Drink
We will have a well stocked bar available. If you are lucky enough to look under 25, please expect to be asked to show ID.
Our refreshments are first rate! These include mouth-watering burgers (from local farms, cooked and served to you by the actual people who looked after the cattle!!!!), hot dogs and cakes (baked with love)!

A brilliant grand draw
Local businesses support us by donating great prizes - please see the prizes and buy tickets on your way in. Funds from every ticket sold go directly to our charitable work! The tope prizes will be drawn and announced live during the break in dancing, with the rest of the prizes having tickets attached to them so you can pick up your winnings on the way out.
YOU dancing and having fun benefits local children!
All proceeds will support the Hennock Community Primary School PTFA. We are currently urgently fundraising to provide an exciting playground space for our children. Every penny you spend supporting this event makes a massive difference. Thank you!
