ALL ABOUT LUX

 

The LUX dance weekend first launched in 2009 as a partnership between Utopia, Ceroc Newbury and Ceroc Thames Valley, and for the last 15 years has gained an enviable reputation as one of the best weekend dance events in the UK. It's also the most flexible with numerous booking options that allow you to tailor your event experience to your exact requirements.

​

In 2019 we redesigned it to concentrate more on what people have loved about the event - which has always been the Sunday classes and the now legendary early afternoon to 4am freestyle. But we've not compromised on the amount of dance space, selection of freestyle genres, teachers or selection of classes AND we've added in a great 2 room Bank Holiday freestyle on the Monday.

​

In 2023 we added a Saturday night main room freestyle for a maximum of 200 people - and this continues again through to 2025 as it has proved so popular. This will gave those residents an opportunity to settle in, have a dance and meet some new people, before the workshops kick off the next day.  Because we want you to be fresh for the Sunday workshops, the freestyle will finish at 1am on Saturday night.

​

The full schedule for 2025 will be uploaded in due course, however you can view the 2024 schedule HERE

​

For those people not checking in on Saturday, doors open at 11am on Sunday with classes running from midday - 7pm across 2 rooms. Freestyle on Sunday starts at 3pm, continuing until 4am across 3 rooms and the outside dance space. BUT it doesn't finish there...

​

On Monday, freestyles continue from 12pm - 7pm across 2 rooms, to include S'Funk, Ceroc Freestyle and Utopia/SILC.

​

For those of you who decide to combine an overnight stay, there is a possibility to 'bolt-on' a 4pm late check-out via the booking page. 

 

​We offer dancers ultimate weekender choice! Unlike other dance weekenders, there isn't only one option. You can book just one night of freestyle with no accommodation, workshops and freestyle on Sunday night, Monday only. Or just book the whole caboodle and have 2 nights in the hotel and enjoy all the fun - 'FULL LUX Package'.

 

Accommodation is available on a single occupancy basis, twin, double, triple or quad, and if you really want to push the boat out you can book a Suite or choose a deluxe room which is a bit bigger!

​

Dining at LUX.
There are two restaurants; Rowans for more formal dining and for a more casual dining experience you can order from the bar menu and eat in the comfortable lounge. The hotel are currently putting together a catering plan to ensure quality and speed of service is optimum.

 

Once booked for the weekend, you will be invited to book a table in Rowans restaurant.
