Book early to avoid disappointment as numbers will be capped. Discounted online sales will end at noon on the day before the event, for admin purposes. You can also pay at the door, bal price per person £10 (cash only).

We currently meet once a month (excluding July and August), and include a mix of repeated dances and 1 or 2 new dances each month, as well as a repeat of dances taught at our workshops.

Balfolk is a form of folk dancing that is very popular across Europe. Our evening will include a wide variety of dances; from the repetitive and hypnotic Breton chains, lively and intricate bourrées from central France, rhythmic energetic solo dances from the Pays Basque, couple dances and progressive dances - something for everyone.

Logistics: please note that An Droichead's pedestrian gate will not be open. As you enter Cooke Street, the carpark for An Droichead is the first set of gates on the left. Entry to the building is via the carpark, from there, walk past the mobile classroom on your right, and turn right. The main red brick building will be on your left, walk straight ahead to the metal gate, and take a left.

The bal will take place on the upper floor of the main red-bricked building.

For your information, Bal Feirste is a not-for-profit organisation, with a very small committee of volunteers. Sadly, we don't have the capacity to manage requests for refunds. If you wish to advertise a ticket for sale on the FB page, we can approve the post.
