No experience needed. Suitable for a wide range of ages. Dances mostly involve couples, singly or in groups of two, three, four, or more. Many of the dances will be English, although some callers will include dances from other countries. Barn Dancing is active, but not too strenuous.
Most function rooms are quite adequate.
If you have queries about your venue suitability, just ask us, we are happy to advise. It is possible to run a good barn dance with 40 people if most people dance, but 50 or more is better. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Most Barn Dances last between two and four hours. The Old Mill Band will be happy to plan the evening to fit in with other activities - although we prefer to know the plan of the evening in advance, this can often be done informally when the band arrives at the venue.
