Oktoberfest Saturday

Come and join us for our Harvest Festival! Cut A Shine will lead you through an exciting Barn Dance with live band as well as being joined by the Blackhorse and Standard NW Morris Dancers for an extra special performance.

We will be running a pop-up food donation and fundraising point throughout the weekend which will be donated to a local food charity.

Big Penny Social will also donate 10% of its profits from this event alongside our own food donation.

**About the Barn Dance**

Although called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all traditional and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves. We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music. You don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go.

**About Blackhorse & Standard North West Morris**

A traditional North West Morris side that has been dancing in Walthamstow since 1981. Don't miss out on our Early Bird tickets that are only £5!

Ever been at a Halloween party, decked out like a skeleton and admiring pumpkin art but thought, this could use a bit more… orchestra??

Basement Orchestra has got you covered, with a programme of music most haunting, both classical and modern, in the perfect celebration of All Hallows’ Eve.

Expect menacing sounds, from Mussorgsky’s diabolical tone poem, ‘Night on the Bare Mountain’ to Saint-Saëns’ iconically creepy ‘Danse Macabre’, as well as unearthly music from more recent years.

**About Basement Orchestra**

Founded in 2012, Basement Orchestra is now a 50-piece musical behemoth. In that time, they have brought our come-as-you-are vibe to a variety of unusual spaces, including an abandoned telecoms office-block, the iconic Rough Trade Record Stores, and the even more iconic Bethnal Green Working Men's Club. They have enjoyed residencies at well-loved venues across London, including the Arcola Theatre and the Clapham Grand, brought Sibelius to Secret Cinema and entertained tripped-out revellers in the way they least expected at Secret Garden Party and Mighty Hoopla.

The performance is 18+
