Ceilidh at the Castle

Ceilidh at the Castle

Join us this summer at the historic Dundonald Castle for Ceilidh at the Castle, a lively evening of traditional Scottish ceilidh dancing, featuring live music from the fantastic The Reel Stramash. Set in the atmospheric Laigh Hall, this special event promises great entertainment, good company, and a true Scottish celebration.

Enjoy a licensed cash-only bar in the grassy castle courtyard (please note drinks cannot be taken inside the castle), along with some lighthearted fundraising games – including the ever-popular Pitching Pennies game where you could win a bottle of whisky!

All proceeds from the night will go directly towards supporting Friends of Dundonald Castle’s community events and activities.

Please note: This is a strictly over-18s event and ID will be checked on arrival and at the bar. Outside food and drink are not permitted.

We look forward to dancing the night away with you!

Two circular images labeled "A" and "B" show abstract, grainy white shapes on dark backgrounds. Image A resembles a roughly outlined human figure with an outstretched arm, while Image B shows a clearer silhouette of a rabbit. Both circles are framed with calibration markers and colored guide lines, suggesting they may be scans or microscope images.

A large school symphony orchestra is performing on stage in a concert hall. The conductor, dressed in black, stands at the center on a podium with both arms raised, leading the musicians. The orchestra consists of students playing string instruments such as violins, violas, and cellos, all reading from sheet music. The musicians are dressed in formal black attire.

One person is performing a handstand on the left, another stands in the center facing the map while holding a musical instrument, and a third stands on the right playing an electric guitar.
