The Summertown Swing Sunday Tea Dance Club is back on 14th September 2025 with our Autumn Tea Dance for 2025 and we invite you to join us on our dance floor in Summertown.
It is time to dig out your Sunday Best and tap into the joyful rhythm at our Sunday Afternoon Tea Dance club. It all happens on Sunday 14th September 2025 from 3pm to 6pm. We will be playing the best in Swing for your dancing pleasure. Whether you’re a seasoned Lindy Hopper, a fan of Foxtrot and Quickstep, or simply love great music and warm company, this event promises an afternoon of pure delight.
We’ll be serving up the very best in Jazz Swing music from the 1930s to the 1950s, carefully curated by our expert DJs to keep your feet moving and your heart smiling. Expect a perfect blend of smooth big band numbers, and snappy swing favourites, all played with dancers in mind. The floor will be alive with energy, style, and joy.
Finding the Summertown Swing Sunday Tea Dance Club Venue
If you are coming from the Town Centre there are quite a few buses that travel along The Banbury Road, and they run fairly frequently. City2 buses (2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) all stop directly opposite the venue.
There are also buses that run from the The John Radcliffe Hospital from Headington. These run along Cherwell Drive before turning and heading up Banbury Road to Summertown. (700 and H2).
In all cases, alight at the South Parade bus stop. Portland Road is the turning on the opposite side of the street.
For those coming by car, The Summertown Exit on the A40 provides a quick and easy way to drive down with the turning on the left as you approach The Summertown Shops. Look out for the Dancing Dragon Chinese Restaurant on your right and Portland Road is the next turning on your Left.

Summertown provides much better options for parking than central Oxford and this makes the afternoon a lot easier to manage for those who are driving. St Michael’s Church Hall does have some parking spaces although these are often grabbed early.
You can park on Portland Road and any of the other side streets without charge on a Sunday. That makes a trip out to the Summertown Swing Sunday Tea Dance Club a lot more pleasant and convenient.
This Google Map shows exactly where St Michaels Church Hall is.
Once you arrive, just walk up the stone steps to the upper hall. You will probably hear the music playing already so we should be pretty easy to find.
The Tea Dance Club Nibbles Table
As always, our Tea Dance will have a nibbles table bedecked with some snacks to enjoy. There will be a variety of cakes to choose from along with cucumber sandwiches and lots of tea, coffee and squash to keep everyone hydrated on the dance floor.
The Summertown Swing Sunday Tea Dance Club is more than just a dance. It is a place to dress up, meet friendly faces, and lose yourself in the rhythm of the golden era of Jazz Swing. Whether you’re dancing cheek-to-cheek in a slow foxtrot, bounding through a Collegiate Shag, or swinging out with a partner in true Lindy fashion, you’ll find music and atmosphere to match your mood.
Add plenty of cakes and refreshments to that, and you’ve got the perfect way to spend a Sunday.
So dust off your dancing shoes, gather your friends, and join us for a dance that celebrates style, connection, and vintage flair.
