A small group of people in Retford have a passion for dance - and community dancing for enjoyment, especially - and have started to bring the idea to Retford, North Notts, as Retford Ceilidhs.

‘Ceilidh’, in Scotland, Ireland and now in England, is a term for a ‘gathering’, where all ages come together to enjoy live music and dancing. So far we have held two in Retford, with Lambskinnet band and Chris Rose as ‘caller’, which have been quite successful.

So, we are going ahead with two more this autumn. For those who love dancing of any kind and have never tried this, come along, join in, and we hope you will be surprised at how good an experience it can be - and get as hooked as we are! You don't even have to know how to dance - just come and enjoy. Bring a partner, or friends, or come on your own - everyone included! Families very welcome too (under 16s free!).

So here are the Retford Ceilidh dates for your diary. We're trying a new venue and 2 different bands.

First Date: Friday September 7th, 8pm-11pm.
