Question- What sort of party are ceilidhs good for?
The answer is actually any party where you want the entertainment to be fun, social and inclusive.
Does the thought of a disco make you cringe?
- You want entertainment that needs to be social and involve all your guests- suited for all age groups and abilities – especially the younger ones. It needs to engage your guests and make it a party for them to rave about for years to come.
- Your guests will range in age and abilities; you want the evening to be a hit with all of them.
- You want to feel confident with your entertainment supplier- basically have this part of the evening planned for you. Don’t you have enough organising to do?
Does this resonate with you?

Hi, I’m Schuggie and I call multi-award-winning🏆 authentic Scottish-style ceilidhs (well I am from Inverness) with a contemporary twist. Based in the East Midlands (so the Derby/Nottingham area) I cover the whole of the UK including the Channel Islands🗺️.
I’ve been calling ceilidhs for almost twenty years now, which means well over 500 events (and over 150 wedding ceilidhs) in venues ranging from cosy wee village halls, pub function rooms and University halls right the way through to grand mansions, Castles (namely Tutbury, Newark, Warwick and Nottingham) and even London Zoo.
My packages and unique additions are flexible for any type of venue and when the weather allows, unforgettable for outdoor parties.
My packages are also LGBTQ+ Wedding Services accredited🌈.
For birthday🎉 party ceilidh, whether its 18th, 21st, 60th, 80th and any year inbetween my clients tell me:
- Everyone there had an absolute blast, lots of people saying it was the best party they had been to.
- Guests aged 5-75 all enjoyed themselves.
- A huge success, especially amongst the English guests as they hadn’t experienced anything like it before and were all impressed by the amount of fun and laughter that could be had on the dancefloor.
For retirement✨ ceilidh parties they have said:
- Fun to see all these people from different parts of our lives dancing together.
- You made the small space work, got everyone involved and made us feel so comfortable.
- You created a lively atmosphere which suited all age groups and abilities – especially the younger ones who were really catered for.
For village/community socials🍻, I’ve had these comments from the committees:
- Ran the night brilliantly and created a lovely atmosphere- getting even the most unenthusiastic dancers up on the floor and having a wonderful.
- Great at understanding each crowd (and their limitations) and ensuring that you catered for them.
- As parents, we dread taking kids to parties in fear they will get bored- but with your ceilidh; even at 11 pm they didn’t want to go home.
There are also the usual party suspects such as Hogmanay, Burns Suppers (from very formal affairs to informal supper), Paddy’s night and St Andrews celebrations.
Here are some more types of parties that my ceilidhs are great for:
- Celebrating your engagement or wedding anniversary🥂
- Seasonal Soirees such as Christmas, Summer, Halloween, Purim and Diwali.
- Colleague works social night out or CSR community events.
- Student Societies are great for hosting Intervarsity Competitions, welcoming Freshers or celebrating the end of the term.
- University department staff/student parties.
- International Students welcome events.
- Family get-togethers – These have been really popular after how we lived in 2020 & 2021!
- Golf Captain’s nights.
- Ladies Masonic evenings.
- Rotary club events.
- Outreach events, bringing communities together- particularly in rural and farming areas🐏
- LGBTQ+🌈 social events.
- Parent Teacher Associations.
- School parties- everything from Reception Year right the way through to Year 13/Upper 6th 🚸
- Staff (School, College or University) end-of-term party.
- Charity and fundraising events.
Even the odd barn dance🤠. As the saying goes; any excuse for a ceilidh party.
