Come and join the club for an unforgettable evening of live music, community dancing and joyful, high-energy funWhat actually is a ceilidh?A ceilidh is a traditional Gaelic social gathering involving folk music and group dancing, but Club Ceilidh is not a formal or intimidating dance. Think festival energy rather than a stiff ballroom. The dances are lively, sociable and designed to get the whole room moving together. It is a great way to meet new people, get some exercise, let off steam and enjoy live traditional music in a friendly, inclusive setting.Do I need to come with a partner?Not at all. People come solo, with mates, or in a group, and you'll be swapping partners throughout the night anyway. It's one of the friendliest ways to meet people in the room.Can I come alone?Absolutely, plenty of people do. You'll be dancing with different people all night so you're never stuck standing on the sidelines. At the beginning of a dance solo dancers put their hands up and we will find you a partner and get you dancing!Do I need any experience?None required! Every dance is called and taught from scratch before the music starts, so you'll know exactly what you're doing. If you can walk in time to music, you can ceilidh.What should I wear?Something comfortable you can move in. Flat shoes are highly recommended, this is not really a heels kind of night. Fancy dress is always welcome if there's a theme.Is there a bar?Yes, fully licensed. We are looking to reduce our plastic waste so request that you bring your own reusable cups and water bottles which you can refill and reusable cups.
