About Us

The Drapers Dance Centre building has a long history and in parts has been dated back over 300 years.

Drapers Dance Centre itself has been established over 35 years having originally been opened by Raymond and Carol Draper in 1973.

The centre under went a large refurbishment project in 2004 when it changed ownership to the second generation of dancing Drapers, Scott & Hayley. Since then they have continued to try to improve your surroundings which include fully air-conditioned ballrooms, comfortable bar lounges and waiting areas, a licensed bar and free car park.
