Take your place in the 128-some

As a thank you for supporting The Reel Thing 10th Anniversary Ball, we’re inviting 128 guests to take part in something rather special - completely free.

The Reel Thing only attempts this on very special occasions; the last one was ten years ago. For many dancers, it really will be a once-in-a-reeling-lifetime experience.

The 128-some will happen during the interval and take around 20 minutes. We’ll give you everything you need beforehand so that, on the night, everyone knows exactly where to stand and we can simply get on and dance it.

Everyone who completes the reel will take home a commemorative engraved glass tankard.
