Wilton's Swing Nights

 

It's hard to have a really memorable night out in London for only £10, but Swing Dancing at Wilton's Music Hall definitely fits the bill.

 

Described as "the most important surviving early music hall to be seen anywhere... It is of outstanding architectural and archaeological significance" Wilton's is a east end cultural landmark, and offers large variety of artistic shows alongside a year round programme of education and heritage activities such as workshops, talks and tours. 

The swing dancing event - which attracts both novices and experts - is held in the stunning auditorium and starts with an hour's lesson from friendly pro-dancers, before the band gets going and the evening turns in to what is basically a swing-dancing disco.

 

There's no need to bring a partner - there are lots of people on hand to whisk you around the floor, or you can just freestyle in the corner depending on how many cocktails you've had at the bar. Go with a big group of friends or with a date; either way you'll have a quirky and fun night out.
