THE Christmas special of Bromsgrove's popular tea dance will be held next week.

There will be festive songs and mince pies aplenty as the seasonal dance event comes to Parkside on Tuesday, December 19 - a week earlier than usual due to the holidays.

Cllr Helen Jones, chairman of Bromsgrove District Council, which organises the dance, said: "The tea dance is ready to welcome you in for some Christmas spirit. As ever it’s a great way to come out and be active and social in good company.”

The event will run from 2pm to 4pm in the Parkside Suite in Market Street, with admission costing £4, including a hot drink and snacks.

Music will be supplied by Brian's Super Sounds.
