Ballroom Social Group

In The Ballroom Social group, set up by Warwick Town Council, returns again in March 2023. These events are supported by Heritage Lottery ‘Awards For All Funding,’ The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust and The Court House’s Unlocking Warwick Volunteers

If you have time on your hands and wish to involve yourself in your local community in a beautiful environment, meet new people, or know others who would benefit from getting out a little more; then come to this regular event. Only £3.00 per person, per session, to include tea and cake.

On the second Wednesday of each month at 2pm ‘In The Ballroom’ will be tea with a talk, a quiz and time to chat in the elegant surroundings of the Regency Ballroom.
