Farnham Scottish Country Dance Club
Welcome to the Home page of the Farnham Scottish Country Dancing Club - a club which has been running for over 60 years and is affiliated to the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. We are a very relaxed and friendly club with around 50 members. Guests and new members are always welcome whether or not they have any previous experience.
The club meets every Tuesday evening, from September until April each year, from 8pm until 10pm.
We celebrate Burns Night, we hold a Spring Dance with live music in March, and have the occasional party.
Please refer to the Information page for more details about the club, the Calendar page for the yearly programme, and check the Events page regularly for the latest information on forthcoming events.
We hope our website tells you all you wish to know about us but if you need further information, please contact us via our webpage link below.

About the club
We are a social club who welcome members of all abilities including total beginners. All dances are walked through before being danced.
There is no need to bring a partner as we all take turns at dancing with each other. Also, there is no need to wear Scottish apparel, but soft shoes or trainers are recommended - in due course, you may wish to buy some purpose-made soft dancing shoes.
Dances and events
Social Nights- These are regular nights. taken by members of the club, that run from 8pm until 10pm with refreshments and biscuits served in the interval.
Instruction Nights - These are taken by qualified teachers associated with the club. In these nights, steps and movements are practised and dances walked through slowly. Refreshments are served as per a Social Night.
Party Nights - These are generally taken by committee members and run for an extra half hour; this is to allow for supper at 9pm. All attending are asked to bring a plate of finger food to share.
Burns' Dance - This is held in January as close to the 25th as possible, with a Haggis dinner (vegetarians and allergy's can be catered for) before dancing. Tickets are sold in the run up to this. The event starts at 8pm and finishes at 11pm.
Spring Dance - This is held in March with live music. Please bring a plate of savoury finger food for a shared buffet, and the committee will provide puddings. The event starts at 8pm and finishes at 11pm.
AGM (Annual General Meeting) - This is held in April, when the club hears reports from the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, elects a committee, raises questions and makes decisions for the following year. Once the meeting has finished the rest of the night runs as a normal Social Night.
