Westminster Day of Dance 2nd May 2026

When we asked our Bagman what the most difficult thing was when organising this event, her reply was “Events, dear boy, Events”.

We had originally planned on 16th May and had a large group of guests all lined up and chomping at the bit… Then the dreaded “Events” cropped up.

The only other workable date was 2nd May, and that’s what we’ve gone with. Being a bank holiday weekend, this caused problems for many of our guests who had long-established other things to do.

The select few who are able to attend are

Belles of London City
Greensleeves Morris Men
Letchworth Morris
Thaxted Morris Men
