Saturday 7 September • Free • 10am – 3.30pm

Holding a place in the hearts of many Aberdonians since it was built in 1929, the Beach Ballroom has seen many changes – not only to its interior but also with regards to events.

Primarily famous for its excellent sprung dance floor the Beach Ballroom was described as “The Finest Dance Hall in Scotland” with many dancing competitions featuring high on the programme.

Today, dance competitions still play a role in the entertainment programme along with many other events such as Christmas parties, Strictly Ballroom, wrestling, weddings and corporate functions.

So why not come along to see what facilities are on offer as well as taking a stroll down memory lane with our nostalgic exhibition.

Please feel free to turn up on the day anytime between 10am to 3.30pm, which is last admission.
