Venues

Ashton Court Manor

We're absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to dance in this historic venue and we'd like to extend a massive thanks to Art Space UK for providing the opportunity.

The grounds at Aston Court are well worth a stroll around the grounds during the day.

Ashton Court Manor is a Grade 1 listed mansion with a long history behind it.

A fortnight before the Bristol Balloon Festival there's a good chance there'll be some launches in practice for the big day.

We'll be dancing in the Music Room featuring an oak parquet floor.

The SouthBank Club

For those who have danced in Bristol this venue needs no introduction and has been the beating heart of the swing community here for well over a decade. We'd like to pass a big thanks to the owner Jess for facilitating the use of the space.

The Orchard Cafe

Tucked away next to St. Georges park is our venue for Friday night.

Activities

Bristol Abolition Tour

We’re very grateful to be working with the Bristol Radical History Group in bringing you this tour.

As you’ll know, swing music emerged from and was profoundly shaped by the cultural innovations of African Americans, many of whom were descendants of enslaved people.

This walk around central Bristol explores the city’s thousand-year involvement in the slave trade, examining what’s been memorialised and what hasn’t.
