Join us for a night bedecked in tartan and tam o’shanters, where whisky flows and floorboards shake with Bristol's very own folk ambassadors Alex Garden, Archie Churchill-Moss (Tarren) & special guests - plus Michelle Holloway (Bonfire Radicals) calling the dances!

And, as a special January treat for dance lovers, local Bristol brewery Wiper and True are dishing out a free pint of freshly brewed low-alcohol beer for the first fifty people to arrive. Just head to the bar and ask for a Low-Alcohol Kaleidoscope - a 0.5% Pale Ale that's masterfully brewed in Bristol by Wiper and True's team of experts.
