What's a ceilidh? The word is Gaelic (pronounced "kay-lee") and means literally "meeting". It has been used over the centuries to describe traditional social dancing, where groups of people perform dances handed down over the years to jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas and the like. So, come along and dance your cares away!

BunkFest has 4 ceilidhs this year, BunkFest Mega Ceilidhs Friday and Saturday evening at Wallingford Sports Park Pavilion (booking details on the Tickets page) and 2 special Family Ceilidhs on the Kinecroft (Admission FREE - Saturday & Sunday afternoons) where folk of all ages can join in.
