Wolverhampton charity to host barn dancing event
Put on your dancing shoes and straw hats, this rowdy bunch are gearing up for a Black Country barn dance.
Wolverhampton charity Kingswood Trust is hosting a barn dance event to raise money and bring the community together.
The Person-based charity, which focuses on educational activities in nature, is holding the fun-packed activity at their centre on Holyhead Road, on November 17, starting at 7pm.
Rachel Wells, charity manager at Kingswood Trust, said: ”Everyone is welcome to come along and see what we have to offer at The Kingswood Trust, we put on a mix of events so there’s something for everyone.
“It is a wonderful environment in which all children and their families can thrive. Learning is first hand and memorable and the outdoors is a tonic for health and wellbeing.
"This event will have lots of dancing, hot food and is a great way of socialising.
"It'll be great fun and they'll be a lot of laughter, we're not serious or professional dancers so we'll be learning as we go, a lot of the fun is had when everyone gets tangled up.
"The aim of this event is to raise money for the charity but also to bring the community together.
"We're hoping to raise more than £600 and will hopefully see anywhere from 80 to 100 people there."
Chair of the Trustees, David Harris, said: “This is an exciting time for The Kingswood Trust.
"We are developing our events for the whole community and building on the well-established excellent reputation we already have to move forward into the future.”
