Experience the Ultimate Dance and Music Holiday in the Algarve!
Join us from 3-10 October 2025, for an unforgettable week of dance, music, and fun in the sun! Following the incredible success of our 2024 event, we are delighted to return to the stunning 5-star Real Marina Hotel in Olhão, Portugal.
With amazing live music provided by a mix of the best social dance bands, solo entertainers and ceili bands from the UK and Ireland, you will definitely enjoy one of the best holidays ever! From early morning, classes and tutorials, afternoon dancing by the pool, followed by the evening sessions (bring your own instrument and join in!) and finishing off with the ceilis and social dancing in the two ballrooms.
And then of course there is the late-night bar, which is ALWAYS PACKED and is the heartbeat of every event!
The Magic Of A Session!
There is something genuinely very-special, about a traditional Irish music session. Played well, it doesn’t just take the individual but the whole crowd on a wonderful magical journey where time stands still and before you know it, it’s three o’clock in the morning and the place is still jammed! The few guys who started with a guitar and a fiddle and an accordion has gradually swelled as various individuals arrive armed with tin whistles, bodhrains, banjos and such like, and as the music grows so too does the atmosphere and the energy until the very building itself seems to be rocking in time to the music!
Being able to play the piano or indeed any kind of musical instrument for that matter is a great help! At least you will get a seat, if you’re lucky! If you can tell a story, recite a bit of poetry or sing a song then you will be made equally welcome. If not, you can simply sit down, relax and enjoy the beer, the banter and the craic and soak up the atmosphere that these sessions are renowned for. There is one thing for sure, you will return home happy, enlightened by a wonderful musical experience BUT, you’ll probably need another few days off to recover!
Whether you love Ceili, Country, Sean Nós, or Social dancing, this event has it all. But don’t wait too long to book—demand is already high for 2025! Last year, our guests described it as the best event yet, and we’re ready to make this year even better. If it’s your first time joining us, you’ll quickly find that our holidays are full of friends you just haven’t met yet! Many of our guests have been traveling with us for over 35 years, and our high repeat bookings speak for themselves.
Few spots remaining! Book here!
