The Magic Roundabout Milongas 2026

The Magic Roundabout Milonga organises Argentine tango dance events for people who like traditional tango music. In 2014 I (Bärbel Rücker) became a part of the Magic Roundabout Milonga team. Since then there have been Magic Roundabout Milongas in Bristol (Almondsbury), Tidenham Chase, Kington Langley and Lydney.

The Magic Roundabout Milongas

If you enjoy dancing to music from the Golden Age of Tango in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, then you will like our milongas. We believe that the details make a difference to your dance experience.

At our milongas in Kington Langley you’ll find a sprung wooden dance floor, excellent sound, cabeceo friendly lighting, experienced DJs, free baked potatoes & occasionally tomato soup, free tea and coffee and free parking.
