Thrales WEEKEND
Every year on the second weekend of November, the team hosts Thrales Weekend, a two-day sword dance spectacular to mark our birthday. See our events page for current details.
Every year we invite a fellow rapper team to join us as our special guests for a blitzkreig rapper tour of London. The specifics change but it follows a tried and tested formula.
SATURDAY
Starting at around 11am we take our guest team out on an all day tour of the capital. We crawl round some twenty pubs in Soho before dinner time. After a hearty repast we then venture out into the night, to tour yet more pubs and sample the waters until closing time.

SUNDAY
We take over one of our favourite pubs for a day of dance. Starting at around midday, a host of dancers from the rapper, sword, clog and morris jig traditions take centre stage for a festival of English traditional dance. Entry is always free, but the beer is not, sadly.
