Hi! We are Sheffield University Ceilidh Society (or CeilidhSoc for short). We like to dance, play and listen to traditional music from all over the British Isles, Europe and even further.

Our moto is: Dance! Make Music! Make Friends.

We hold regular ceilidhs throughout the university year. A ceilidh is a gaelic word meaning an informal gathering for music and dance which we interpret to be a fantastic party!

All our ceilidhs have a live band of musicians playing high intensity tradional music for dancing. Don't worry if you've never tried tradional folk dance before as there is alway a fantastic dance leader called a "Caller" to teach you the dance and shout out the moves as you go along.

If you are new to UK then this is a great chance to experience some of England's cultural heritage and still have a great time! Ceilidhs are a great place to meet lots of really wonderful and friendly people.

Besides the ceilidhs, we also run a regular social and music "sessions" where we all play music together. Don't worry if you don't play as there's always somebody to talk to! The best way to find out about CeilidhSoc is to visit our website at http://www.ceilidhsoc.org.
