Ready to swap your usual Wednesday night plans for something a little more energetic? Bristol Girl is heading to The Canteen for a night of drinks, live music and ceilidh dancing.

We’ll meet from 7:30pm for drinks and a chance to get to know everyone before the dancing kicks off at 8:30pm, with an instructor there to guide us through the steps. So whether you already know your Strip the Willow from your Gay Gordons or have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about, you’re very welcome.

It’s a relaxed, social night designed for meeting new people, having a laugh and trying something a little different with the Bristol Girl community.

Coming on your own?

Come for a drink, stay for the dancing, and prepare for a very Bristol Girl Wednesday night.
