Britain's What's On Event Guide
40s and 50s Hangar Dance at the Vulcan
The Sid Bolan Big Band return once again another exciting evening at the Vulcan Restoration Trust's 40s & 50s Hangar Dance at the Vulcan.
The dance will take place in the Trust's hangar at London Southend Airport, known as Royal Air Force Rochford during the Second World War.
You can dance the night away beneath Vulcan XL426's giant delta wings. The Sid Bolan 18-piece band will be playing a selection of dance hits from the wartime and post-war years. If you're a beginner, or your dancing skills are in need of a refresh, the Air Raid Jive Dance School will be on hand with a fun 'tutorials' so everyone can hone their dance moves before the Sid Bolan Big Band takes to the stage!
We encourage everyone attending to dress vintage to give the evening an authentic '40s and '50s 'feel'. But please wrap-up as aircraft hangars aren't the warmest of places - and it will be October!
There will be a licensed pay bar. Refreshments, including hot and cold food, will be on sale throughout the evening.
A selection of souvenirs will be on sale from the Hangar Shop.
Sorry - no pets or animals (with the exception of assistance dogs) can be admitted to the event.
This is a fundraising event organised to benefit the Vulcan Restoration Trust.
Important Note: we will provide ticket refunds up to seven days prior to the event but will not provide refunds for any reason after that time, with the exception of the cancellation of the event.
