We’ve got that Friday feeling! Fancy a proper night out in the countryside? If so it doesn’t get better than a ceilidh with the country’s most glamorous ceilidh band, coming to The Ridgeway Barns on 1st October!

Grab a drink from the fully-stocked bar and tuck in to a delicious Scottish feast rustled up by James Graham and The Bell at Ramsbury team.

Then head next door when you hear the toe-tapping sounds of Licence to Ceilidh: London's Top Ceilidh Band, grab a partner and give it a go! Our friendly caller will talk you through all the steps you need, strike up the band and you can give it a whirl (in the most literal sense!)

‘Feast and Fling’ promises to be a thrilling and hilarious evening in equal measure - book your tickets now!
