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!
