Yes - you will be unable to purchase alcohol from the bar but you are still welcome at the event!
A ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a traditional Scottish social gathering featuring lively folk music and group dancing. It is an inclusive, high-energy event designed for all skill levels, typically led by a "caller" who guides dancers through simple, repetitive steps. You don't need any experience to join!
