💃🕺 Zest Friday Freestyle at The Addison Centre, Kempston
Friday 29 August 2025
Time: 20:00 - 00:00 Price: £12.00
💃The Addison Centre in Kempston has been home to Ceroc Bedford since the mid-'90s. Weekly Thursday classes and monthly Friday freestyles form the backbone of the Ceroc community we know and love.
The venue recently underwent renovations, including a brand-new sprung floor, lighting upgrades to the car park, and a crystal-clear sound system.
❓️WHAT IS CEROC DANCING?
Ceroc is a blend of different dance styles including salsa, jive, ballroom and tango.
🎶 WHAT TO EXPECT
A pleasing blend of music in the main hall with Marc throughout the night, mixing the genres with plenty of songs you know and love.
Beginners are always welcome to start on any week. You do not need to know anything about partner dancing to start your Ceroc journey. Come on your own, with a partner or bring a group of friends.
🥂 DRINKS
The licensed bar will be back in operation on Fridays to serve soft and alcoholic drinks. Please help us support the bar by not bringing refreshments on this occasion.
☕️ There will be free teas and coffee at 10PM.
🎟 ENTRY COST: £12
Pay at the door with cash or card
💥 DISCOUNT FOR THURSDAY & FRIDAYS: £16
As a thank you to our weekly class night dancers, we offer a substantial discount for members dancing back to back on Thursday & Friday evenings for a combined price of £16. That's a £6 saving! Ask at the door during your next visit for complete details.

Every effort has been made to make the garden accessible to as many visitors as possible. With that in mind we have recently finished resurfacing the area around the sundial making it far easier for wheeled access. However, due to the age and rich history of the garden there are some areas that are not accessible by wheelchair. Please inform members of the Walled Garden Project at the entrance and every effort will be made to provide an alternative route, provide commentary on the area, or help with pushing if there are volunteers available. Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.
🐶 DOGS
Dogs on leads with well-behaved owners are most welcome at the Walled Garden.
🅿️ PARKING
Parking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays.
Pre-booking is not required. Please note the Walled Garden is not at the hotel entrance.
🎫 PRE-BOOKING IS NOT REQUIRED
