Note from the Organiser:
Ladies & Gentlemen,
​
I have great pleasure in presenting the programme for the forthcoming Annual Gala weekend being held at the recently refurbished Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool from Friday 8th May to Sunday 10th May 2026.
2026 is going to be a very special year of Celebrations as it is my 80th Birthday, along with my 60th Diamond Jubilee Easter Sequence Dance Festival, plus the 72nd Bullen School of Dance Annual Sequence Gala.
A very exciting Dance programme has been compiled to cater for everyone’s taste featuring fabulous Guest MC’s, superb Music and fabulous Entertainment.
Specially reduced B&B rates have been negotiated with the Norbreck Castle Hotel with an option to stay 1, 2 or 3 nights. Please consult the following pages with full details, prices and booking information.
Having presented many Events at the Norbreck Castle Hotel for well over 40 years, I have no hesitation in presenting this Celebration Weekend at the Hotel.
As everyone knows, prior to the pandemic, most of my Events were held at the Floral Hall, Southport. Sadly, the Floral Hall & Theatre Complex have now been demolished to make way for a brand new Marine Lake & Events Centre which is due to be open in the latter part of 2027.
Hopefully, the Bullen School of Dance 73rd Annual Gala will return to the MLEC, Southport in 2027 along with the 62nd Southport Easter Sequence Dance Festival in 2028.
Bookings for the 2026 May Celebration Weekend are strictly limited, so not to over crowd the Ballroom.
I sincerely hope that I shall have the pleasure of welcoming you to Blackpool, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
​
David
