Charity Ceilidh
Enjoy a lively night of Scottish Ceilidh (pronounced “kay-lee”) dancing while supporting YMCA East Surrey!
You don’t have to be Scottish and you don’t need to know what to do; a caller will explain the dances and there will be lots of friendly folk to give you a hand and get everyone up dancing. Think of it as a barn dance with a Scottish twist!
All funds raised will go directly towards supporting local projects through YMCA East Surrey’s Life Change Fund (see below).
Music will be provided by the fantastic Buchanan Ceilidh band.
