Social Dancing


We hold a monthly social dance at The Ark, School Lane (off Bear Hill), Alvechurch, B48 7SB. The Ark is the award-winning modern hall attached to St Laurence Parish Church, and has an excellent sprung floor, very good facilities and ample parking.

We offer a balanced programme of the best Ballroom and Latin American dance music, with a small selection of popular Sequence Dances. There is no bar, so please bring your own refreshments & glasses. Admission £5/person (on the door).

Seat reservations are now available for parties of four or more: please contact us by 4pm on the day.

Map & Directions

The Ark is easy to find.

From the centre of Alvechurch village (on the B4120), turn up Bear Hill. There are brown tourist signs at the crossroads to both St Laurence Church and the Marina. Drive about 1/3 mile up Bear Hill. At the top of the hill, turn sharp left (another brown sign to St Laurence Church) into School Lane. The Church and The Ark share a car park at the very end of the lane.

Alternatively, if you are coming from Redditch, turn directly up School Lane, the lower part of which is a quite narrow one-way street. On departing, you will be directed down Bear Hill into the centre of the village (as above).

If you are coming by train (and Alvechurch is on the cross city line with a service every 30 minutes), the railway station is just a little further up Bear Hill, and so an easy short walk from The Ark.
