Hangar Dance

Most people think of museums as quite, sedate locations but for one night this September The Helicopter Museum is going to literally 'rock' that image with an evening of jive dancing and swing music.

Tickets have gone on sale for the Annual Charity Hangar Dance at The Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare. The one night only event takes place on Saturday 15^th September from 7.30pm to Midnight and features a live performance by 'Swing Fever'. The West Country based group specialise in Swing and Jazz music and have performed all over the World, including at Ned Kelly's famous jazz club in Hong Kong and for Her Majesty the Queen in 2007.

During the evening the aircraft hangars will rock to the sounds of WWII era music and American swing, while guests dance the night away in an authentic aviation hangar setting with real historic aircraft and wartime decoration. Museum staff and Volunteers will be dressed up in period costumes ranging from Spitfire Pilots and Land Girls to American G. I’s and an 'anti-rationing' buffet will be laid on for guests. There will also be a licensed bar serving drinks and refreshments throughout the evening.

Smart dress is requested with period attire optional so if anybody is looking for the opportunity to dress up World War Two style or dust off the old flight jacket, poodle skirt or penny loafers this is the ideal opportunity.

Tickets are £12.00, which includes the evening buffet and can be purchased from The Helicopter Museum on 01934 635227.
