Ceilidh @ The Crum — First Friday Ceilidh Nights

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

Never tried ceilidh dancing? You’re very welcome. Our experienced caller walks you through each dance and keeps you right as the music gets going. Come with friends, as a couple or on your own—it’s a relaxed, sociable night with plenty of opportunities to join in.

Enjoy easy-to-learn favourites such as Waves of Tory and Strip the Willow, alongside other Irish, Scottish and English social dances. This isn’t a formal sets céilí, although experienced set dancers are very welcome too.
