Peña Flamenca de Londres
The Peña Flamenca de Londres is the UK’s largest flamenco club. We were founded way back in 1984 and operate like a peña flamenca in Spain promoting flamenco in a friendly club atmosphere. The peña puts on shows most months of the year at the Church Hall of the Holy Apostles on Cumberland Street in Pimlico. Shows are open to members and non-members. Our President is the world-famous flamenco guitarist Paco Peña.
We feature the best flamenco artists from Spain and the UK. Most shows are professional but twice a year we have ‘juergas’, in which anyone can apply to our events co-ordinator to perform on our stage. We also host the Feria de Londres each year in partnership with Ilusión Flamenco, which is just like the feria in Seville, with sevillanas dancing all afternoon!
We also run the first flamenco dance prize in the UK, The Ron Hitchins Prize for Flamenco Dance, a bursary which we award to up-and-coming flamenco dancers.
