The White Heather Club's Fringe Ceilidh
Description
Join us for a celebration of Scottish culture as we get birling, twirling and whirling at the White Heather Club's Fringe Ceilidh!
Taking place at Bonnie & Wild, our August 13th ceilidh is one of the Fringe's biggest free events, with several hundred dancers expected to "Tak the Floor"!
Music for the dance will come from the White Heather Club as Charlie Kirkpatrick and his fellow musicians take you through classic Scottish country dances such as the Dashing White Sergeant, Orcadian Strip the Willow and the Gay Gordons. And don't worry if you don't know the moves! Scottish presenter Caroline Blair will be swirling through the crowds calling out the steps and making sure everyone has a blast.
As well dancing and laughter, we'll also have a few guest appearances, plus some amazing prizes.
A night of friendship, cheer and Scottish country dancing, the White Heather Club's Fringe Ceilidh is one of Edinburgh's best nights out. Not to be missed!
The dancing starts at 7.30pm and will wind up at around 10.30pm. Why not pop into Bonnie & Wild for a bite to eat or drink beforehand. Afterwards, you can come back into our Scottish Marketplace, or secure your guest pass to the W Edinburgh's exclusive afterparty.
