Flamenco Fire returns for UK exclusive!
Back by overwhelming demand – and this time for two nights - acclaimed international flamenco sensation Nadia Marquez Mora performs her only UK dates this year at Dartington’s Great Hall on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November 2026 (19:30–21:30).
Nadia has been dancing since the age of four. Born in Murcia and based in Alicante, she has performed with the famous dance companies of Cristóbal Reyes and Joaquín Cortés. Her exciting style is heavily influenced by classical dance and has been met with great acclaim in New York, Mexico and Ireland, as well as winning her an award at the prestigious International Festival of Cante de la Minas.
Flamenco is a vibrant Spanish art form encompassing song (cante), dance (baile), and guitar playing (toque). It’s based on various folkloric music traditions from southern Spain, developed in the gitano (gypsy) subculture of the region of Andalusia, with a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. Its expressive style often reflects themes of love, conflict and struggle.
The global flamenco scene is ablaze in 2026, redefining tradition with innovative twists and adding new international flavours. Flamenco Festival London marked its 21st anniversary this summer. Across continental Europe, flamenco festivals from Oslo to Milan have been merging tradition with fresh expression, expanding flamenco’s sonic spectrum to fuse rap, jazz, electronic, and classical elements.
Brimming with passion, palmas altas and pulsating rhythms, Dartington’s show emerges at the heart of this renaissance, marrying centuries-old authenticity with contemporary flair.
Nadia Marquez Mora said:
“I am thrilled to be returning to Dartington after we were so well received last year. Dartington’s beautiful and historical estate has a tradition of presenting many very different art forms. I am proud to bring with me one of the most important and exciting from my country.”
Flamenco Fire isn’t just a performance: it’s an electrifying celebration of fiery footwork, soaring cante, and virtuoso guitar, amplified by a world-class musical ensemble. Join Nadia and her group for what promises to be a truly memorable evening.
Tickets £25 adults / £18 under 16s.
