Dust down your cowboy boots, Rathfriland WI invite you and your families to their Wild West Barn Dance to be held in the Rathfriland Young Farmers’ Hall on Friday, 18th October starting at 7.30pm.

Organised as the first event as part of the group’s two-year programme aimed at ‘Supporting women in the local community’ after receiving a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund, this will be a fun event for all the family.

Rathfriland WI’s President, Margot Groves, said: “We are so excited to host a Wild West Barn Dance in the Young Farmers’ Hall. It’s a chance to dig out your denim and dust down your cowboy boots. We will have special prizes for best dressed so we can’t wait to see all the outfits!

“We have a great band booked - Stonewall - who will play country music and there will be line dancing and a caller so everyone will be able to join in and dance the night away whether they have been to a barn dance before or not! We will be serving special wild west food to keep us going, we are really looking forward to it.”
