“The tea dances also provide me with a great opportunity to enjoy some quality time with older members of the community – and enjoy the ‘craic’ with the regular dancers!

“Indeed, I’ve always been amazed by their energy and sense of fun – which is such an inspiration to all!

“I have no doubts that we’ll see a fantastic turnout for all of the tea dances during my term in office – and that they’ll be hugely enjoyable events for all who attend.”

The 2019/20 tea dances in Derry will take place on the first Tuesday of every month – beginning on 3 September 2019. All will be held in the Guildhall’s Main Hall from 2pm to 4pm.
