Fandango! This year’s programme is packed full
with more workshops than ever before.
Dance workshops include Breton,
Scandinavian, Contra, French Bourrees, Austrian,
Fandango, Irish Step, Molly, Longsword, Rapper, Border
Morris, North West Morris and Appalachian.
For those of you keen to flex your vocal chords
we have Harmony Singing, Global Vocals and you can even
learn how to Sing Like a Bloke! The
Festival also offers music workshops
ranging from Afro Brazilian Dance, Austrian and
Hungarian music to American Traditional music and
English Song as well as Concertina classes and the
ever-popular Slow and Steady music

When you’ve sung your heart out and danced your
little socks off you can stretch out your limbs at
Yoga or perhaps turn your hand to
Lantern-making.
Towersey Showground favourites Mushy Pea also
return with their circus skills
workshops where you can try out juggling,
diablo, hula hoops and plenty more
besides.
