There is no obligation to do it all; you are welcome to join partway, arrive late or leave early. I will update our location as we go around.
The town is well-served by public transport

Fun, laughter, dancing out of time with the music, and probably having sore feet afterwards. It's not technical & half the fun is making mistakes.

📍 Boat & Horses, 137 Trent Rd, Beeston, Nottingham NG9 1LP
🗓️ Friday 6th November
💸 Tickets? Nah, no stress – just rock up! It’s £5 on the door (cash or card), and kids are totally free. You can book ahead if you like feeling organised, but honestly… we love a last-minute legend.
🕢 Doors: 7.30 pm
🕗 Dancing kicks off: About 8-ish (we’re chill like that). We will be dancing to recorded music.
🎶 Final fling: Auld Lang Syne at 10.30 pm

Never been to a ceilidh? (That’s Kay-Lea btw)
Doesn’t matter if you’re a total newbie or a ceilidh veteran – I, Schuggie 😍, will be calling the dances so you’ll know exactly what to do… or at least think you do. The beauty of it? Nobody’s 100% sure what’s going on, so there’s zero pressure. You just laugh, spin, and stumble in the best possible way.
You’ll dance with everyone (yes, strangers – it’s half the fun). The more people, the more chaotic and brilliant it gets. We even have our Ceilidh Ninjas on hand to steer you in the right direction if you get lost mid-twirl.

***

Why you’ll love it:
🌈 Fun, social, and inclusive vibes
😂 Mistakes are part of the game (and the best part)
👖 Dress how you like – jeans, kilts, glitter – we’ve seen it all
👟 Wear something you can move in (ceilidhs are basically cardio in disguise)

***

Extra bits:
📹 We sometimes film to help improve future ceilidhs & show the world how awesome you lot are. If you don’t want to be on camera, just say so on the night.
🍻 No BYO – grab your drinks at the bar. New landlord, so free water too!

So… ready to laugh, dance, and meet your new best mates?

The Boat & Horse are keeping the after ceilidh Karaoke going as well for those who fancy it once the dancing has finished🎶🎤

I’m teaming up with the brilliant Richie Muir for something a bit special.
We’re blending Richie’s Celtic Songbook — packed with some of Ireland and Scotland’s greatest traditional and modern songs — with my fun, social and inclusive ceilidh style for a night of big tunes, proper craic and dancing that gets everybody involved.
So if you fancy a good singalong, a lively ceilidh and a cracking night out with lovely folk, you will love this.
