Birmingham St Mary's Charity Ceilidh

At Birmingham St Mary's Hospice, patients, and their families and loved ones come first. They take care beyond the hospice itself, reaching out to every part of the community by supporting people in their homes and local neighbourhoods.
Every day, they support and care for more than 500 people living with life-limiting illnesses, but estimate that this is only 50% of the people who need their services.
With my good friend John, whose wife was cared for by the Hospice before she passed away, so this is our way of continuing to thank them for the care she received. So come along, and join in the fun, laughter and social connection that ceilidhs are great for. Not been before What can you expect Fun, laughter, dancing out of time with the music, and probably having sore feet afterwards. It's not technical and half the fun is making mistakes. So, you really don’t need to know what to do
Ceilidhs (pronounced "Kay-leas") are enjoyed by all ages – from youngsters' first Scottish dancing experience to old-timers out enjoying a burl.
People come dressed in jeans, full highland dress – and everything in between.
Wear something comfortable to dance in. You don't need to know what to do as I will be calling the dances and explaining what you need to do as you go along.
There are lots of friendly folks to give you a hand and get everyone up dancing.
Any questions, post them in the discussions. Lastly, please don't take your own alcohol into the Club Buy your drinks from the bar.
Every penny we raise enables vital care, compassion and comfort to be available to more people whenever and wherever they need it.
