I moved to Edinburgh knowing nobody. I went to a ceilidh on my own and by the end of the night I had a dozen new friends.

Sarah M. — Edinburgh, regular since 2022

The highlight of our Scotland trip. We came from Berlin for the weekend and stumbled into a ceilidh — absolutely magical.

Lena & Erik — Visiting from Germany

As a solo traveller I was nervous, but within minutes I was dancing with strangers who became friends. The caller makes it so easy.

Priya S. — Visiting from India

My kids love it. Live music, incredible energy, best value night out in Edinburgh.

Davie R. — Brings the whole family

We booked a ceilidh as part of our honeymoon in Scotland. The caller had us dancing like locals within minutes!

Tomoko & Kenji — Visiting from Japan

The caller makes it so easy. I was terrified but everyone was encouraging. We now go to every single one.

James & Fiona T. — Edinburgh locals
