September 11, 2026: Bal with the EBW house band in Dorchester
Join us for another friendly evening in Dorchester, a chance to dance to fine live music, and enjoy simple comforts in company. Bring a partner, an instrument, or just yourself and enjoy some Balfolk tunes and dances.
Musicians are welcome to join the house band led by our MCs Alastair and Confluence Duo. Novice dancers are invited to learn some basic steps at the workshop before the main Bal, and old friends who already know the steps can help at the workshop, or just come for the Bal.
Workshop: 7pm Bal: 8pm - 10.30 Adults: £7, teenagers: £5, children under 13: free. Cash honesty bowl on-the-door. Kitchen facilities and hot drinks are available, but bring your own drinks and nibbles. There are a pub and a convenience shop opposite.

This event is at Brownsword Hall (Pummery Sq, Poundbury, Dorchester DT1 3GW, UK).
