The Finnish Scottish Society warmly invites you to our annual Saint Andrew’s Day Cèilidh to celebrate Scotland’s national day!
The cèilidh takes place on Saturday 30th November 2024 (Saint Andrew’s Day (link)) from 18:00 to 23:00 at Käpylän työväentalo, Vipusentie 19, Helsinki.
A cèilidh (meaning a “visit” in Gaelic) is a traditional Scottish social gathering with folk music, dancing, food, drink, and lots of laughter. The ticket prices include entry to the event, along with refreshments and some delicious traditional Scottish food (including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options). The cèilidh is also BYOB (bring your own bottle / ottaa omat juomat mukaan) if you wish to.
The evening’s entertainment includes the society’s piper, Chucky Hindle, a performance by the Helsinki Pipes and Drums (link), and lots of dancing to the music of the Helsinki Ceilidh Band (link). Don’t worry if you don’t know the dances – our dance caller Jim Irving will explain the steps to all the dances. Just bring yourself along and have a good time!
Dancing is NOT compulsory. Kilts and tartan are encouraged, but there is no dress code.
TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Tickets may be transferred to another person of your choosing, but only after informing us at [email protected]
