| Please note that we ask any dancers who wish to be included in the afternoon mass dancing to have a thorough knowledge of the dances that have been set as there will not be any recaps. | |
| Spectators: £1 per ticket in advance; programmes will be available to purchase on the day for 50p each. In the event of wet weather programmes purchased on the day will not allow admittance to the sports hall or performing arts centre. | |
Evening dance tickets: £10 each, £3 for those in full-time education, £2 for those 11 and under. |

The space available limits the number of dancers that can be accommodated. All evening dance tickets will therefore be on a “first come, first served” basis. |

Dance Instructions Wet weather arrangements |
|
In the event of wet weather the afternoon dancing will be held indoors in two separate halls. Both venues will have live music. Gateways School has a performing arts centre with excellent spectator facilities. The junior teams and a small number of adult teams will use this. A full programme, including demonstrations, will be danced and Ian Slater will provide the music. |
|
| All other teams will dance a full programme in the sports hall to Marian Anderson. | |
| The White Rose Festival is planned as an outdoor event. However, this being England, we can never guarantee that the weather will be kind to us and we may be forced indoors. If it should be necessary we aim to make the indoor
festival as enjoyable as possible although we hope for sunshine again this year. We believe that the participants largely determine the
atmosphere and we would ask that everyone enter into the spirit of the festival to help others to enjoy it. Please note: no food is allowed in the Performing Arts Centre. |
|
| Parking | |
Parking is freely available for both cars and coaches on site at the owner’s risk. |
|
| Refreshments | |
Gateways School has a restaurant which can provide reasonably priced lunches and evening meals to be paid for at the time of purchase.
We invite afternoon participants and spectators to have an evening meal with us and add to the atmosphere of the
festival. Unfortunately, because of limited space and time we are unable to offer evening meals to others. Should it be necessary to restrict the numbers dining with us vouchers will be issued on a “first come, first served” basis. |
|
| Evening Arrangements | |
Brief “recaps” will be given unless otherwise stated, but because of acoustic difficulties in the hall we cannot guarantee that they will be clearly heard. |
