Heel Toe into Hogmanay with Bairns’ Hogmanay Ceilidh Club
Edinburgh’s Hogmanay with Halo isn’t just for the grown-ups! The wee ones can join in the festivities too with plenty opportunity to dance their way into the New Year!
This year’s Bairns Ceilidh will see families whirl through the afternoon of the 31st December, with some of the top Ceilidh bands in Scotland setting up for the festivities in McEwan Hall.
Two step into the New Year with Ceilidh legends such as The Jimi Shandrix Experience performing live and heel toe away to the much-loved Ceilidh belters.
There’ll be callers on the day, so need not for any dance experience in this fun, relaxed, 'have-a-go' family experience. It doesn’t matter whether you are a dab hand at the Dashing White Sergeant or a first-time Highland Flinger, a teetering tot or a whirlin’ wonder, everyone’s in for a lively jig!
With two sessions this year to keep up with demand, the annual sold-out Barins Ceilidh is an event not to be missed.
Kicking-off Edinburgh's Hogmanay with Halo, the spectacular Torchlight Procession (29th December, starting at the Meadows) will see thousands of Vikings creating a river of fire through the capital and the free Sprogmanay of music and arts and crafts (1st January, National Museum of Scotland) will take place to make Hogmanay extra special.
31st December, McEwan Hall.
Tickets from £16.50.
