This event reunites those who knew Peggy, worked and trained with her, and who enjoyed her legendary social events at the Royston in Penge (now Matico Dance Studios).

Tickets need to be booked in advance as there is a maximum capacity for the room. It's not free for us to put on, so we would be grateful for your donation towards our costs as you checkout and complete your booking.

Please not that this isn't a social dance, although there will be dancing: we put out a lot of tables and chairs so people can catch up with long-lost friends and team mates. If you are looking for a social dance with plenty of space, please book for Bishopsgate Ballroom on Friday 24 April 2026, where the dance floor will be its usual size and we'll be dancing for three hours.

We will have a selection of material from the Peggy Spencer archive on display, and you are welcome to look at the full archive any time we are open via our dedicated Researchers' Service - it's free, you don't have to book and the room is accessible.

If you have been in touch with our archives team via library@bishopsgate.org.uk and have agreed to donate material to the Peggy Spencer Archive, please bring it with you if the team are expecting it (and it's easy to carry).

Whilst this is a free event, It is not free for us to put it on, so are hoping you’ll make a donation when you book your place.
