Kiddies Keilidh - All tickets £5 May Day Ceilidh - £13/£7 Concessions
Come and celebrate May Day with folk music, dancing for everyone, and good company at the Hardye Theatre.
Join Tatterdemalion for another of their seasonal family ceilidhs, this time to celebrate the coming of summer. The TatterBand play tunes which were used for dancing in Dorset 200 years ago, and now you can enjoy communal dancing, with the moves taught by experienced caller Angela Laycock. No partner or experience necessary!
The early-evening Kiddies’ Keilidh is perfect for introducing kids to folk dance, with special dances for those with little legs, before the evening ceilidh gets going in earnest!
