Fans of Scottish Country Dancing will be making a bee-line to the Public Hall for Witham Caledonian Society’s annual Summer Dance. Music will be provided by The Caledonian Reelers, a local band from Colchester, and the admission price is inclusive of supper.

Continuing Witham's commemoration of World War I, a night of costume, food, live music and dancing featuring the Jeff Short Combo.

These rising stars on the rockin' scene play roots rockabilly and 50s western with a rockin' beat. Glen himself pens new material and there is a good selection of standards too. This band is a must for that authentic sound from Hank Williams and Justin Tubb to early Johnny Cash. The band has recently been touring Europe with a string of gigs coming up in the UK. Also on the bill is top UK Hillbilly and Western Swing DJ John Macleod to help keep the dance floor busy. Certainly a special night not to miss!

Strut your stuff to DJ Texas Tommy at another of Essex Wildlife Trust’s popular Badger Boogies, with all proceeds going to protect threatened wildlife on nature reserves in Essex. Come at 7.00 for an hour’s free dance class for the ‘Badger Boogie Stroll’. Free tea and coffee, but no bar so please bring your own drinks.
