What we’re about
This group is open to all ages and aims to organise a variety of events that appeal to a wide range of interests. If you live in or near Nottingham and want to meet new friends and have some fun days and nights out then do join us. I can promise you will meet some great people, make new friends and enjoy yourself.
We have strong links with Nottingham Gig Buddies and Nottingham Culture & Café Scientifique, with whom we share many members; so why not join as many as you like and have a packed social calendar!

Our ceilidhs will be recorded to improve both the dancer's experience i.e. how I call the dances and to advertise future ceilidhs.
If you don't want to be included in any of these promotional videos, please let me know on the night.
Lastly, please don't take your own alcohol into the venue![img]()
Buy your drinks from the bar and the water is free.
