On Sunday 22 March, the historic Strathdon House and Orchard Precinct came alive as part of Whitehorse Council’s 2026 Culture Fest celebration, drawing a vibrant crowd of families of all ages eager to experience the richness of local cultural traditions. The festival offered a diverse program of music, food, interactive activities and cultural performances. Among the highlights was a lively performance by our U3A English, Scottish and Welsh dance group.
The performers took to the main stage in colourful attire. Their presentation showcased a selection of traditional English country dances and spirited Welsh folk dances, each introduced with a brief explanation that gave the audience insight into the social nature of the dances.
The performance concluded with an open invitation for the audience to join in a simple, inclusive dance on the grass. This proved to be a crowd favourite, as participants of all ages stepped forward to take part, sharing laughter and a sense of connection.
