FAQs:

What three words: broadcast, nowadays, shrubbery
Do I need to print my ticket off before I arrive?
Your tickets will be emailed to you and you can either print them and bring them with you, or view them in the Eventbrite App on your mobile device. We do need to scan the QR code on your ticket, so to avoid any delays please have your ticket ready to be scanned at the gate, either on your device or in print.

What to bring?
Make sure to bring suitable footwear, this is a hangar dance inside a real hangar and therefore has a concrete floor, just like in the war ;)

What food will there be?
A variety of street food will be available to purchase, this is in addition to the ticket price. You may also bring a picnic if you prefer.

Is there a licensed bar?
Yes, there will be a licensed bar at the Hangar Dance.

Is there camping?
Unfortunately there is no on-site camping as the Hangar Dance takes place during our annual Armourfest event and therefore the Museum grounds will be full of re-enactors. There are plenty of local campsites including the Walnut Tree Meadow Camping in Wymondham, Chestnuts Campsite in Fundenhall, Glamp & Tipple in Attleborough, or Airbnb's and hotels nearby.

Is there parking?
Hangar Dance parking is available at the Main Site after 7pm on the 16th August.

Address: Norfolk Tank Museum, Station Road, Forncett St Peter, Norwich, Norfolk, NR16 1HZ. Two miles from the A140 at Long Stratton, 10 miles South of Norwich.
