Countdown to Hogmanay, Ceilidh featuring The Big Shoogle

This is the second of three great Laldie Ceilidhs on the last three nights of 2025: the Countdown to Hogmanay.

An evening of high energy ceilidh dancing. Traditional Scottish jigs and reels with a rocky edge, occasionally mashed up with rock riffs and anthems and always full of surprises. You always know when you've been Shoogled!

Laldie Ceilidhs and The Big Shoogle - always intense, relentless, sweaty and fun.

Suitable for all fun-loving people, including first timers. Ceilidh isn't about perfection; it's about having fun trying. All ages and all abilities are welcome. We demonstrate, walk through and call dances to suit the crowd.

Come along in a group, come along with a partner, come along on your own: there are many opportunities for meeting and dancing with other people. That's part of ceilidh culture.

Licensed Bar (cards only).

Doors open 7.30pm, ceilidh starts 8pm, ends 11:30pm.

Children and young people (under 18) are permitted and welcome until 11pm.

Please note there is a separate allocation of tickets for sale at the venue's website:

Active ceilidh enthusiasts are reminded that we are experimenting with ticket offers.

We often take photos and video at our events. Some of these we publish (including on Facebook and elsewhere online) for general interest and for promotional purposes. If you object to being photographed please address this with us before you buy a ticket and before you attend. It may be impractical to guarantee keeping your likeness out of the recorded images so if you want certainty we advise you to not attend our events.
