The Poolewe Cèilidh Partnership

The Poolewe Cèilidh Partnership (P.C.P.) http://pooleweceilidhnights.org/ Our ceilidhs are not licensed, but you are welcome to bring your own wine or beer.

is a group of volunteers who run a series of cèilidh dances throughout the summer each year to promote traditional music and fundraise for local good causes. Our series of traditional ceilidhs run throughout the summer each year in Poolewe on Scotland's North-West coast. A ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a social gathering, with song, dance, tunes and stories, and a drink and bite to eat. The Pool

ewe Ceilidh Partnership was founded in 2007, and in 2008 we were delighted to be awarded the coveted Highlands and Islands Tourism Award for Community Tourism. Our ceilidhs feature a superb visiting Scottish traditional band, joined by local pipers, singers, dancers and instrumentalists. There is a chance to join in with the dances, and a caller and volunteer partners are ready to help if you don’t know the dances. If you prefer, you can just sit and watch the dancers and listen to the musicians and enjoy the craic. During the interval, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and some home-baking, all included in the admission price. Soft drinks are available to purchase. There will also be a raffle in aid of a local good cause. Our ceilidhs are suitable for all ages, and we have good access and toilets for disabled visitors. Some comments from our visitor's book:
“A great night, one of the highlights of the holiday.”
“Our first ceilidh and hopefully not our last! Thoroughly enjoying the tradition and glad to see the youngsters are too.”
“What a good idea, locals and visitors together. Excellent evening!”
“Loved the family friendly atmosphere, great dancers and community spirit.”

Thank you all so much for joining us in starting 2025 with a blast - a whole month ago now!

We appreciate everyone battling the weather to come out on the 1st for a sell out night! ❄️

Big thanks to Ali buckets 🪗 Abigail 🎻 Ewan 🎹 and Darren 🥁 who put on a terrific night for us all, the floor was always full!! 💃 We really appreciate Claire Frances MacNeil 🎤 coming up to Poolewe and giving us a few songs too - What a voice! 🤩 We were also treated to a brilliant rendition of Poaching Days by locals, Mairi MacKenzie and Matthew Macleod!! 🎶

Our New Year’s day ceilidh raised over £2500. This very healthy sum will subside the cost of the hall and band hire for the summer ceilidhs, benefiting the charities involved.

Here are the dates for 2025 with more information to follow in the coming months -

July 16th, 23rd & 30th
August 6th, 13th & 20th

‼️We will soon be on the lookout for local charities to cater for the summer ceilidhs, they will get the money from the raffle that they provide and/or any other enterprising efforts on the night as well as a share of the door at the end of the summer (evenly split between all charities) ‼️ Please contact [email protected] to get in touch.

🪗 🎶 🥁 🎵 🎤 💃 🎻

🚨PS Left behind at the hall was a black wooly hat with a fluffy pompom 🖤 and a gold Michael Korrs 💎 bracelet. Please let us know if it is yours. 🚨

Thank you very much to the kind person that found our missing ‘Cèilidh’ sign and left it at the hall for us 🥰 We had a quick look in the dark after it blew away at the cèilidh last week but going by the seaweed it’s been on the shore for a wee while. Thank you for returning it - perfect timing for our last cèilidh this evening ☺️
