The Ceilidh is presented FREE OF CHARGE, courtesy of our generous patrons and sponsors. While we reserve the front row for our Patrons, there is open seating and a limited number of chairs available under the tent, or please feel free to bring your own chair or blanket and sit on the grass.

 

 

Food and drink will be available at the Ceilidh.
