Yorkshire Folk Dance Weekend 2026

A very enjoyable event, with warm sunny weather. The dance callers provide us with an interesting and varied selection of dances, English, American, Contras – different speeds, different set forms – longways, squares, three-couple sets, four-couple sets. Lots of variety make for an interesting time.

On the Sunday we drive the short distance from Drax to Snaith and take up residence at the school for more dancing, one of the luxuries of being retired is that we can go and take part in activities like this.

All too soon the dancing is over, we’re saying goodbyes and looking forward to the next event – in fact for us the next event is soon, we just have to drive to it but that’s easier said than done because it’s held north of Hamburg in Germany.
