Arrival time- To help minimise the number of attendees in the room at once, we have agreed in advance that attendees where possible only attend for the sections they are involved in (rather than staying for the full day to watch all ages).
Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your section starts where possible. If you do arrive earlier for your section, you may be asked to wait in the café area downstairs until there is a good time to enter the room.

Parking– As the venue is in the town centre, there is lots of on street parking around the venue, most of which is free on Sundays.
Food & drink policy– The venue has a bar serving hot & cold drinks all day. Hot dogs will be available and a tuck shop. Packed lunches are permitted to be brought inside the ballroom but can we kindly ask everyone to clear away any rubbish before they leave. Please don’t bring hot takeaway food or drink inside. Downstairs at the venue is a new large café area also serving drinks and this is also a good area to wait if you arrive before your section starts to help us reduce the people in the main room.
Dancers getting changed– Dancers are strictly not permitted to get changed inside the ballroom or on the corridors unless they are wearing a base layer (leotard/ shorts/ crop top). If anyone needs to change during their time with us there is a female changing room available on the middle of the stairs and a male changing room closer to the foyer downstairs. Dancers who are school age or younger need to be accompanied by their adult or a chaperone whilst changing.
