Dance to The Brim Ceilidh Band – 16th May, Devoran Village Hall
We are excited about our upcoming ceilidh with The Brim Ceilidh Band on 16th May in the lovely Devoran Village Hall. Do come and join us. Everyone welcome!
What people said last time:
“The music was outstanding. The caller was super clear. Loved it!”
“Great crowd, great music and dance choices”
“Really friendly people. Great musicians, clear instructions. The whole event was fun and inclusive”
Doors open 19:30. Dancing from 20:00.
A bar will be run by volunteers from the Devoran Village Hall Committee and will support the village hall.
The hall has a car park and the village is served by public buses 36, 36A and U1.
A hybrid of Cornwall’s top folk musicians, The Brim Ceilidh Band specialise in providing an upbeat ceilidh / barn dance with an exciting and energetic mix of both new and traditional dances combined with an upbeat and full sound from the band. Check them out at www.brimceilidh.co.uk – accordion, fiddle and bouzouki.
No need to have any idea what ceilidh dancing is, just an enthusiasm to have some fun. Ceilidh dancing is very inclusive, suitable for everyone even those with two left feet. No experience or partner required. Kate Smith will be the caller for the evening and will show you how to do all the dances.
We want to keep our public ceilidhs affordable for everyone so you will see there are different adult tickets prices for those booking in advance. The regular price (£8.50) will cover our costs. The supporter price (£12) allows us to pay the band a modest fee. The budget price (£5) is because we don’t want you to be excluded from dancing if you would struggle to afford the regular price. Please pay as you feel you can afford. Accompanied children age 8 – 16 £3. Under 8s free, but please still book a ticket.
Do book in advance if you can to ensure you can come – there are limited tickets numbers due to venue capacity. Last time, in October, we sold out before the doors opened. If any tickets are left then we’ll have some available on the door at the set price of £12.
We very much look forward to seeing your smiling faces on the dancefloor!
Explore Fun Ceilidh Classes for Kids and Adults
Class booking for 2025 now open.
Ceilidh Cornwall is growing and we are starting new classes around Cornwall. We have three types of classes for you, aimed at different age groups. Pre-booking is advised because some classes are already filling up fast. It also helps us get started dancing straight away in each session.
Ceilidh Tots is for preschool aged children and their adults. Dances are simplified ceilidh dances and will involve circles, lines, and counting up to 8. They include movements to the right and left. We have fun games too with varied types of ceilidh and folk music. These are morning classes running 09:30 – 10:15 on Tuesdays in St Erth and Wednesdays near Ladock. You are welcome to stay afterwards for a cup of tea or coffee. It is good to have time to catch up with your ceilidh friends.
All ages ceilidh class sessions occur in the late afternoon. They are after-school classes suitable for everyone. Families, teens, and adults of any age can join in. These focus on multi-generational folk dancing, including everyone in the dance. These classes are great if you’ve got energy to use up after school or if you want some exercise and socialising but an evening class is too late for you, or if the energy of an all ages class appeals to you. One of the joys of ceilidh dancing is how everyone can get involved from 3 to 103. Under 3s and over 103s are also most welcome! These run on Wednesdays near Ladock (16:30-18:00) and on Fridays in Devoran (16:15-17:45).
Adult classes (also suitable for teens age 12+) are held during the daytime in Penryn (13:15-14:45) and St. Erth (11:00-12:30) and evening in Carharrack (19:30-21:00) and near Ladock (18:30-20:00). These classes will be good for you if fancy learning the steps a little more, prefer a group with fewer small children or you’d like to try out a greater variety of dances. These classes will ultimately get into more complex dances than the other classes, but they are still suitable for beginners – we won’t leave anyone behind.
All classes focus on having fun, joining in and making everyone feel welcome. In all the classes you’ll get a good workout too and leave feeling uplifted (we hope). No experience or partner is required, though experienced dancers and partners are invited too and they also tell us they have fun!
