About This Event

A DIY Ceilidh is a relaxed, participatory take on the traditional Gaelic social dance: live or led music, a caller walking everyone through the steps, and dances built for people who have never done it before. No partner, experience or fancy footwork required — you just join in. Held at the Cumberland Arms in Ouseburn, a pub with a long tradition of folk music and dance, this one is free to attend and welcomes all abilities. Come along, or check the venue's listings if you want to confirm timings first.
