Following on from its successful trial run, the Sands Venue on Blackpool Promenade has announced that the Tuesday afternoon tea dances will continue throughout the summer months. There isn't one on the 14th June but there will be on on 21st June and every Tuesday there after, but just check with the venue before setting out!
This is a great way to spend an afternoon of live music and dance in the traditional way. Guests will be welcomed into a friendly environment of waltzes, quicksteps and foxtrots, with a sprinkling of Latin, performed by a fantastic live band for just £9.99
Guests will enjoy a tea or coffee, assortment of sandwiches and scones included in the price.
One of the (many) special features of the Sands Venue in Blackpool is the layout of the three dance floors which enable those who don't want to join in a sequence dance to go and 'do their own thing'.
You can re-read our review of the first tea dance that we went to back in April here:
We had a great time at the first weekly afternoon tea dance at the newly re-opened Sands Venue on Blackpool Promenade today. The building is looking great with its ground floor deli / cafe and there is also the top floor champagne bar which we plan to check out soon.This tea dance was really enjoyable with a good mixture of music played by the Frontline Dance Band who have played for dancing on cruise ships for several years and really know their stuff!
But the afternoon was really topped off with a sumptuous afternoon tea served half way through. There was a selection of sandwiches: ham, cheese,egg, ham & tomato, cheese & tomato, tuna, some lovely little cream scones and delightful cakes (see photo) served with tea or coffee.
At £9.99 per person this really is good value when you consider you are dancing to a specialised 4 piece dance band and getting a lovely cream tea included in the price. The venue is definitely worth a look so why not book up for the tea dance next Tuesday from 2pm.
They now have a walk in box office in the cafe on the ground floor of the building on the promenade so, if you are in town you can just pop in and book up.
