First Friday ceilidh nights at Crumlin Road Gaol — live band, easy dances, experienced caller and everyone welcome.

Ceilidh @ The Crum — First Friday Ceilidh Nights

Join Haste to the Wedding Ceilidh Band for a lively night of music, dancing and craic at the historic Crumlin Road Gaol, Belfast.

This is a relaxed, social ceilidh night where everyone can join in. No experience is needed — our caller will guide you through the dances on the floor, so whether you come with friends, as a couple, or on your own, you’ll be able to take part.

Please note, this is not a formal “sets céilí”. Experienced set dancers are very welcome, but the night is built around fun, easy-to-learn social dances such as Waves of Tory, Strip the Willow and other Irish, Scottish and English crowd favourites.

Expect live music from an award-winning ceilidh band, a friendly atmosphere, and a great Belfast night out in one of the city’s most iconic venues.

First Friday dates:

Friday 4 September 2026

Comfortable shoes recommended — and bring your dancing energy!
