Summer Ceilidh with The Molecatchers + Fish & Chip Supper at Downend Folk & Roots @ Christ Church Downend

A gig on Friday 17th July. The event starts at 19:30.


Doors 7.00pm | Supper 7.30pm | Dance 8.00pm

After the success of the ceilidh during our 10th Anniversary Celebration in 2024, we are delighting to announce that we will sign off for the Summer break with another dance and supper, in partnership with Christ Church Downend.

As before, we welcome Bristol's finest ceilidh band, The Molecatchers, while a fish & chip supper will also be provided by Downend's own Good Frydays.

Tickets for the ceilidh, which takes place at Christ Church Downend on Friday 17 July 2026, are available online here, as well as from Christ Church Downend Parish Office and Downend Cards and Gifts. They are priced at £15 each (£10 under-18s if accompanied by a paying adult), in advance only, and are strictly limited to 100. Doors open at 7.00pm supper will be served at 7.30pm and the dancing will begin at around 8.00pm. Please contact us if an alternative to fish & chips will be required.

There will be a bar, stocking cider, soft drinks, wine, hot drinks and real ale from Bristol’s Hop Union Brewery. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own glass/mug/tankard, as well as reusable bottles for water, as part of the drive to be more environmentally aware; there is a 50p discount for those that do. There will also be sweet treats available at the bar courtesy of Radstock-based The Great Cake Company.

For further information, please email [email protected] or find us on social media.



Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
