Local people of all ages are being invited to an afternoon tea dance at Billingtons tomorrow.

Organiser, Catherine Madeley, who has been dancing for 50 years was once a pupil at the Ascroft Street venue and a dance teacher there now.

The day dubbed 'March Dance' will be packed with ballroom, Latin and popular sequence dances and the price includes coffee/tea and cake.  

Catherine said: “I have a number of events and classes mostly held at Billingtons, which has been a dance school for over 100 years. 

“The sessions have been very popular with participants from as young as 10 to 89. I will also run classes for children from ages three to 12 at Royton Scout hut on Fridays after Easter."

The event tomorrow takes place from 2pm-6pm and tickets cost £8.50.
