Don your spookiest dancing gear for this unique All Hallow’s Eve celebration with the Ceilidh Liberation Front!

Something wicked this way comes… The Nest Collective have reached beyond the veil and summoned a new ceilidh event for you this autumn.

Dance between the otherworld and our own as you waltz around the beautiful hall of Grand Junction. Bewitch your friends with your scariest two-step! Dosie-do and strip-the-willow as we raise our spirits with ghosts and ghouls.

Your host will guide you throughout the evening, and offer insights and reflections on this special time of year celebrated for millennia across cultures.

Open to dancers of all 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”

Your host will guide you throughout the evening, and offer insights and reflections on this special time of year celebrated for millennia across cultures.

This event is a celebration of life, and an honouring of the ancestors. The ancestors love a good party, when the libations flow, so we ask you to raise up your voices and knees in the exalted spirit of the ceilidh!

The Ceilidh Liberation Front is 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 abilities (no experience necessary!)

All are welcome at this event – groups, pairs or solo bookings.
