Summertown Speakeasy New Years Eve Swing Party 2024 Entertainment

Swing Dance Summertown are pleased to announce live entertainment for our New Year’s Eve Party which welcomes The Ewan Bleach Sextet to The Summertown Speakeasy New Year’s Eve Swing Party on 31st December 2024.

As many of you know, Ewan is originally from Oxford, and is now one of the top Jazz and Swing performers for dancers in London, through his residency at Jamboree:London at Chads Place in Kings Cross. There are a number of different ensembles he leads. Swing Dance Summertown are very happy to announce that this year, Ewan is returning home with his sextet line-up and will lead the entertainment to see in the New Year properly at our first New Year’s Eve Party. The band features Members of The Fleeting Paradise Orchestra who have a large and growing following around London’s Jazz and Swing clubs.

There will be all the usual Summertown Speakeasy trimmings with DJs playing between Ewan and the band’s live music sets for non-stop dancing through the night.

What You Get At The Speakeasy New Years Eve Swing Party

Tickets include a Champagne Toast at midnight with quality Champagne. Our generous Nibbles Table will also be stocked with snacks & refreshments. Another feature is our giant projector screen showing fireworks at midnight for you to dance under and welcome in the New Year in style. We also provide free off-road car parking at the venue for everyone.

Like everything we do, Summertown Members will be able to buy discounted tickets but we will price it so that your non-dancing guests and partners will still receive a competitive package for the big event. We want this to be for everyone!

Tickets are currently on-sale online from this site and at any of our classes and events, where they can be purchased in person along with table allocations. Make sure that your best outfits are all pressed and ready for a very glamorous New Year in Oxford.

We do not have a license for a cash bar at The Summertown Speakeasy.  You are welcome to bring in any other refreshments you wish.  We will provide coffee, tea and squash alongside all our other refreshments on the nibbles table.

This all adds up to what we believe is the best value New Year’s Eve Ticket available and a great way to spend NYE in Oxford.

What about my Non-Dancing Partner and Friends?

We all know that whilst we love to dance, that many of us have partners who do not share our passion (obsession?). New Year’s Eve is a time for everyone to be together and so we want to create an atmosphere where non-dancing partners & friends can still enjoy the evening.

Our goal is to make this an event for everyone including dancers with non-dancing partners and believe we have a format which will suit you all. There will definitely be Swing playing, and lots of Swing Outs on the dance floor. We will also feature DJ sets who will play all the party classics mixed in with swing that will guarantee to get your non Swing Dance friends and partners up on the dance floor.

It is a fine balance but we have been working on this for quite a few months, and used the time to make this an event for everyone including dancers with non-dancing partners. We believe we have a format which will suit you all.

How to find us

  • If you approach along Marston Ferry Road from Headington & Marston. Head towards the Banbury Road junction, the turning is on the right just before you reach the junction.
  • If you approach from Banbury Road. Take the turning for Marston Ferry Road and the entrance will be a left turn into the school. It’s about 0.2 miles so keep an eye out for the turning.

Problems with Sat-Nav

Apparently, there is an issue using the postcode with Sat Nav that directs you wrongly. This is due to a shared postcode. If you are using Sat Nav please ensure you enter “Cherwell School NORTH Site” on Marston Ferry Road.

Please note. If you attend our weekly Wednesday night classes, you are going to the other site on the opposite side of the road. The Summertown Speakeasy is at the North Site, not the South Site. If you go to the South site you will be on the wrong side of the road. Hopefully that wont be too confusing for everyone. We will make plenty of announcements at class to hopefully remind everyone.
