Burns Family Ceilidh

Sat 27 January, 15:00
£12 | £6 Conc

It’s Burns for the bairns! Join us for a joyous afternoon of rebellious song and dance for all the family.

Come to our stunning venue this January for a jolly knees-up as we celebrate Scotland’s favourite son, Robert Burns. Don the tartan and tam o’shanters, and let’s get that floor shaking!

The Nest Collective’s house band, the Ceilidh Liberation Front, will provide the soundtrack to the afternoon. With the Ceilidh Liberation Front you can expect London’s most radical & colourful live band, subverting the lore of Ceilidh with their energetic folk dance regime. They breathe vigour and vitality into the traditional ceilidh, whilst honouring its roots and traditions.

Open to dancers of all ages and abilities (no experience necessary!)

“Sweat-busting abandon, subverted dances and party tunes”

Time Out

“Taking the traditional ceilidh as its starting point, but ripping up the rule book, souping up the music and subverting the dance moves. No experience is necessary”
