A ceilidh* is the Gaelic word for gathering and the Ceilidh Club is a place to get a wee bit of Scotland in London. It’s simply three hours of the best entertainment you’ll find. We started this in 1998 and it it one of London’s longest running dance nights.

here are a few comments…
“With step-by-step instructions, anyone can join in and have fun from the moment you step into the room. No one cares if you’re not perfect and there’s no pressure to join in either, but be prepared to work up a sweat”
“Great night out, great group event, especially for anyone who hasn’t done a ceilidh before, very friendly atmosphere”
“Folk dancing, where if you’re good you’re good, and if you’re bad you’re funny”

Wear something comfy! It’s going to get hot (and sweaty) so wear something light and breathable, or layers you can take off.
Tartan is a bonus! Anything and everything tartan is always appreciated (you’ll look good in it too).
Make sure to bring your water bottle along with you to stay hydrated! (We usually have a water fountain available for refill)
All venues take card – some only take card. But that can depend on the wifi… It can be useful to take some cash too!
Please be considerate of others on the dance floor, and when leaving the venue (near residential neighbourhoods)!
