Alcester Contras are organized by Meg, an enthusiast of folk dancing and a nationally known folk dance musician. The dances are non profit making with all proceeds used to pay the hire of hall, band and caller.
You are invited to bring a plate of refreshments to share during the interval. These could be a few sausage rolls, jam tarts or a bunch of grapes etc., but only bring the amount you can eat. Using paper plates makes it easier to dispose of at the end (you may forget to collect a real plate). Just pop your food into the kitchen when you arrive so the volunteers can present it arranged on tables at the interval.
St. Benedict's School, Alcester venue
Dances take place in the large school hall. There is plenty of parking at the school.
Alcester is in Warwickshire and lies on the A46 between Stratford upon Avon and Evesham and is easily approached using this road from the M40 (J15), Coventry area, and from the southwest by leaving the M5 at J9. From Birmingham and the M42 (J3) use the A435.St. Benedict's School is about quarter of a mile NE of the church, opposite the previous venue of the Greig Hall which is no longer available. From the main street (High Street) go past the church and town hall (partially obstructing the road), cross the river at Gunnings Bridge and immediately turn right into the school car park. The address is St Benedict's Catholic High School, Kinwarton Road, Alcester, Warwickshire B49 6PX.
