Our Sparkling Singles Dinner Dance at The Bull Hotel in Long Melford is pure olde worlde charm.  Three course dinner with wine followed by dancing to our resident DJ.

Set in this fabulous historic hotel with exposed beams and comfortable surroundings, the atmosphere feels exciting, warm and celebratory, with a welcoming private suite and a dedicated dance floor that makes the whole evening flow beautifully from dinner to dancing.

You are met on arrival by Eleanor and her hostesses, who set the tone immediately - friendly, attentive, and beautifully organised, introducing you to new and existing members, so you feel looked after from the moment you step in.

The venue also lends itself perfectly to mingling and fun, and with equal numbers of ladies and gentlemen, the balance adds to that special “ready to dance” feeling throughout the night.

It’s one of our favourite venues, and this event always delivers: great company, lovely surroundings, and that classic Long Melford romantic spirit. From the first welcome to the last dance, it’s the kind of evening you just want to do again - warm, elegant, and genuinely memorable.
