scottish Ceilidh
The Global Ageing Network, Scottish Care and the National Care Forum are delighted to invite you to dance the night away at the end of a wonderful week of activities to close out the Global Ageing Conference in Scotland.
On the evening of Friday 8th September come join us and experience the true meaning of “having a wee jig” at the beautiful Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow. Learn traditional Scottish ceilidh dances steeped in our dancing history – from Strip the Willow; the Dashing White Sergeant; the Gay Gordons, and so many more that will whisk you off your feet (in a good way!). Enjoy this exciting, festive event in the most beautiful location. The Old Fruitmarket, built in 1817 to serve the people of Glasgow with fruit in times gone by, is now a state-of-the-art music venue that also houses the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Celtic Connections Festival and more!
Please note that bookings for the ceilidh have now closed. If you have any enquiries, please contact the events team here
