A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our ceilidhs so far this year.

Unfortunately our July 25th dance has had to be cancelled due to the venue becoming unavailable. It does still appear in some listings which we have no control over, so our apologies if you find that misleading.

We'll be back dancing in the autumn so please check back here and on our website for details and tickets.
