Nelson Dance Festival 2027 will take place over 2 weekends: 26th - 28th February and 5th - 7th March. The Festival will again be an All England Dance Qualifier as AED changed the qualifying dates so we are now first in the AED Calendar rather than last. The Festival takes place at Pendle Hipppodrome, Colne, Lancs. Due to the popularity of the festival we will be prioritising local dance schools and our regular dance schools for entries, as well as capping the number of entries from individual dance schools.
