Get ready to dance around a maypole! Folk Dance Remixed will be at the East Tilbury Big Lunch to teach you some funked up traditional steps from their repertoire, bringing this activity into the 21st century…

Applause Rural Touring and Casson & Friends will also be there for a performance of their interactive dance show Arcade from their Let’s Play THURROCK! project which they have been working on across the borough over the last several months!

Each show features six unique games with a fun and bouncy electronic soundtrack.
