London Barndance: Where and When

The Venue

Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regents Park Road, London NW1 7AY
C# House is the home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

London Barndance events use the Kennedy Hall, taking advantage of what we are told is 'the second-best dance floor in London' (the best one is said to be in Buckingham Palace, and not available for hire).

Times

All London Barndance events run from 8pm to 11pm.

Tickets

Admission in 2008: £9.00 (£7.00 for LBC members and concessions, £8.00 for EFDSS members)
A special discount can be arranged for organised groups of ten or more people.

There is usually no need to book tickets in advance unless you are bringing a group of people and want to claim the group discount.

Parking

Cecil Sharp House has very little parking space of its own. Please do not block the access with parked cars!

On-street parking is available in local roads after 6:30 p.m. The easiest place to park is on Gloucester Avenue near the canal bridge.

Catering

The bar is open throughout London Barndance events, and light snacks are usually available (but these get snapped up quickly so come early!) Tea coffee and cakes are available until the end of the interval.
