See Wayne Sleep at the South Holland Centre in Spalding on 6th May 2022

Using his own rare film footage and photos, Wayne Sleep will describe how he became a Principal Dancer at the Royal Ballet with numerous roles specially created for him before moving on to starring roles in the West End, founding his own dance company, and touring the world with it in his show Dash.

His first steps into the world of film and TV are illustrated with rarely seen clips and cover his own TV series The Hot Shoe Show, the prestige of being a special guest on The Morecambe and Wise Show, starring alongside Sean Connery, and all of the off-camera gossip about The Real Marigold Hotel.

“Wayne Sleep is the greatest virtuoso dancer the Royal Ballet has ever produced” - Dame Ninette De Valois, the founder of the Royal Ballet

Bringing it all up to the present Wayne will cover his recent appearances in Celebrity Reality shows and will talk about his long-standing association with the Royal Family, including his relationship with Princess Margaret and his close personal friendship with Diana, Princess of Wales.

Finally, any evening with Wayne wouldn’t be complete without a step or two plus there will be a Q&A in the second half so you’ll not be disappointed!

Spalding, South Lincolnshire - The heart of the Fens

A flat country with big skies, the Fens are hugely important to the UK as a food-producing area and our rich soils and marshy coastline are also vital natural habitats.

South Lincolnshire offers plenty to keep visitors happy, from historic houses and fascinating churches, to easy walks and cycle rides. From wonderful gardens and garden centres, to some of the best bird-watching and angling in England.

Make a shopping trip to Spalding or other local market towns and seek out some of the local specialties such as the famous Lincolnshire sausage. You might well spot these on the menu at an increasingly high-quality range of small hotels, guest houses and farm stay accommodation locally.
