About this Event
40s & 50s Vulcan Hangar Dance
The Sid Bolan Big Band is back for another exciting evening at our 40s & 50s Vulcan Hangar Dance.
The dance will take place in the Vulcan Restoration Trust's hangar at London Southend Airport, known as Royal Air Force Rochford during the Second World War.
The 18-piece band will be playing a selection of dance hits from the wartime and post-war years. If you're a beginner, or your dancing skills need a brush-up, the Air Raid Jive Dance School will start the evening with a 30 minute fun 'tutorial' so everyone can hone their dance moves for the evening to come!
We encourage everyone attending to dress vintage to give the evening an authentic '40s and '50s 'feel'. But please wrap-up warm as aircraft hangars aren't the hottest places and it will be October!
There will be a licensed pay bar. Refreshments, including hot and cold food, will be on sale throughout the evening.
Full refunds will be made on all ticket purchases if for any reason the event does not go ahead.
Ticket purchasers will be sent full details prior to the event.
