Burns Night Ceilidh & DJ at The Old Market Assembly
See event details

A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Saturday 24th January. The event starts at 22:00.


Back by popular demand, the legendary, always-sold-out Burns Night Ceilidh returns to Old Market Assembly.

Celebrate Burns Night with foot-stomping live music from local musicians Alex Garden (guitar & fiddle), Nick Hart (accordion) and Michelle Holloway (caller), who’ll whip the room into a whirling, galloping ceilidh frenzy.

What to expect:
A night of absolute joyful chaos. With traditional Scottish and English dances, wall-to-wall energy, and a night where everyone’s sweaty, smiling and dancing with strangers by the second tune.

Zero experience required.

Comfortable shoes essential.
