Venue

Shoreditch Town Hall

The floor is yours. The story is ours.

Ceilidh is a brand new musical that invites you to step into the heart of one of Scotland’s oldest and most beloved traditions. It’s a gathering of songs, stories and dances, all while sharing a dram or two along the way.

Led by a lively caller, you’ll be swept up in a whirlwind of music and memories from the moment you walk through the door. But as the music builds and the night takes hold, a story begins to unfold. A family story. One of love, legacy, and why tonight’s ceilidh matters more than most. 

Fresh from a sell-out season in Baltimore, Ceilidh makes its premiere at Shoreditch Town Hall. This joyous, irreverent, heart-pounding night is created by award-winning duo Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie (Noisemaker), and directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!).

Whether you’re on the floor and part of the action, or taking it all in from the balcony, Ceilidh meets you exactly where you are.

The band’s already playing. Find yourself a hand to hold.
