What if some of our guests have never done ceilidh dancing before?
No problem at all! Our caller will guide everyone through the dances, making sure both experienced dancers and beginners have a great time.

It’s best to book as early as possible, especially for peak dates. We recommend 6–12 months in advance to secure your preferred date.
Do you bring your own sound equipment?
