English Ceilidh (Barn Dancing)

There is another first at this year's Crawley Folk Festival with an English Ceilidh taking place in The Hawth Studio on Saturday 26 June at 5pm.

If you have never ceilidh danced before and would like to get ready for the Folk Festival Ceilidh then The South East Folk Arts Network's (SEFAN) programme of tutored dances is the perfect chance to give it a try.

The tutored dances will take place at Southgate West Community Centre and Tilgate Community Centre throughout May and June and cost just £3 per session (Under 26s are FREE).
