We hope these prices & workshops encourage participation of young people, leaving most of the evening for adults to dance.
Please bring along as many young people as you think may be interested in the folk fun. Especially in the middle of the day.
We are very appreciative that senior citizens are in general, pleased to contribute in the "adult" category.
This greatly helps to pass-on the joy of folk music and dance to a younger generation.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Children under 10 years are free throughout (if accompanied by a paying, participating supervisory adult).
If visiting supervisory adults prefer just to watch your child - a token of £1 per child per workshop is appreciated. 
(£2 per child per completed workshop is an appropriate contribution as spectator of 10 to 16 year olds.)

We wish to pass on the active traditions of folk dance, music & song.
The price structure is to encourage parents (& grandparents) to bring along children together with their friends:
to discover the joy to be found in the folk activities, dance and music available. 
The Maypole, the Border Morris and the Handbell Ringing make mid Saturday & mid Sunday ideal for visits.
*****************************************************************************************************************************

Do you then wish to be one of the "Early Birds" by April 1st ?  or a Drop-by casual visitor at the end of April ? 
A bargain "Early Bird" SeasonTkt for ALL of Gt Alne Long Weekend (details below: form HERE).

Or if visiting, you are equally WELCOME to come to any part of this long weekend of folk dance, music & song.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
The bargain "Early Bird" SeasonTkt  has a No fool's PAYMENT DEADLINE of 1st April ! 
(If you wish, & are early; also here - Book - a room at Alcester Travelodge at £24 per night.)

You are equally WELCOME (without booking) to come to any part 
of this long weekend of folk dance, music & song.

Visit us and pay just one price to partake in any whole series of daytime workshops.

Similarly for the evening. All one price. Workshop before music start-up, through an evening of varied dancing.

We hope thus, you try many kinds of dance. (Do things you've not done before?) Perhaps try making music too.

You may instead drop by even for just one daytime session. (Enjoy some good food too!) If you do this, then:

Please come-inside & sign-in. Just make a fair small contribution to our Hall hire cost.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
With a philosophy of sharing & dance exchange, we keep our Prices close to those of previous years.
We wish our pricing structure to encourage participation by the younger "folk generations".
We ask an "on the door" increase from £10 (since 2008) to £12 for an entire daytime price,
and directly consequential increases.
