Hello dancers!
We have a beautiful piece of PRIVATE land to use throughout summer 2023 to welcome dancers to come and express themselves! It’s one field away from the very much loved Tellisford swimming spot with flat, soft pastured grass. Toilets and drinking water are provided!
Arrive from 6.30 pm to come settle in, have a swim in the beautiful piece of river with the session opening at 7.15pm PROMPT START!
During the dance, if you want to get in the river, please remove your headset and put it somewhere safely off the ground. Each headset is worth £40.
Directions:-
DON’T USE the address and postcode: Langham Farm, Rode, Nr Frome, BA116QL
It will most likely bring you to a locked gate on the wrong side of the farm! If you do end up there, turn around, go back to the cross roads - turn right - next crossroads turn right into Rode and look out for Langham Place on your right - its the middle of a 3 legged turning! This is the pin to get you to the top of Langham Place https://maps.app.goo.gl/fBq2bBXtVDYDGNgC7?g_st=ic
This is the PIN DROP for the top of LANGHAM PLACE (the driveway taking you to the venue).
It is IN Rode just up the hill from THE MILL, RODE on the left hand side. There are 3 entrances clumped together.
One for Langham House, one for Langham Place and the other is also for Langham Place also!.
Now follow this road for 100 hundred metres or so...when the road naturally splits in 2 take the LEFT HAND folk
You'll see the farmhouse in front of you, turn LEFT into the field where you park your car (you'll go over a little narrow bridge)...The dancing field is right next door just one field on from there (no distance).
