Linlithgow Palace Great Hall (Credit Sue Anderson, IMG_1177BryonyJacketPatrickOK1.jpg) Our Bands, and Likely Dances, Summer 2026 The band for each night is shown below. You can click a date to show our planned lists of dances for that evening. However, the dances and sequence may be altered, for example to suit the conditions underfoot or overhead. A few dances are progressive i.e. everyone changes partners through the dance. These are shown in italics like this in the lists. Occasionally we have two dances at once – one for everyone, and one likely to be enjoyed by more experienced dancers.
