What's on at the Didcot Civic Hall

We have a variety of events taking us from Winter into the Spring again.  

Mel Douglas transforms the Hall into another world of elegance and romance with his dance evenings. Covering all the popular styles of ballroom, Latin and sequence it is a pleasant place to sit back and watch even if you do have two left feet.  Mel is usually with us on the first Friday of the month but see regular events below for more information.

For those who want an introduction to dancing we host a weekly Ceroc evening. These have a beginners session, are very informal and good fun. You don’t even need to bring a partner – the group rotate throughout the teaching sessions and have instructors on hand to guide the novices.
