A POPULAR family-friendly barn dance is returning to Hennock next month, with organisers promising another lively evening of music, dancing and community spirit.

The ‘Legendary Hennock Barn Dance’ takes place from 6pm on Saturday, October 3, at Beechleigh Farm, near Bovey Tracey.

Renowned ceilidh band, Spinach For Norman, will provide traditional tunes and songs, with caller Pam helping dancers master the moves.

The event is being held to raise funds for Hennock Primary School.

Money raised through previous dances has helped create a new playground and garden for pupils.

There will also be a bar, barbecue featuring local meats and vegetarian options, and a grand draw with prizes donated by local businesses.

Last year's event sold out, so advance tickets are recommended - www.pta-events.co.uk/hennock
