Join us for a joyful Midsummer Scottish Ceilidh Dance at Fellows Farm: a relaxed afternoon of music, dancing, and good company.
This event is especially welcoming for families with children. Before the dancing begins, children can enjoy sensory storytelling and a creative workshop, giving them a chance to explore stories, use their imagination, and make something of their own.
The Scottish Ceilidh Dance will follow, with simple dances that are adapted so everyone — including children — can join in. No experience is needed. All the steps will be explained, and the focus is on having fun together.
Enjoy lively traditional music, meet new people, and dance in the beautiful surroundings of the farm. During the afternoon we will serve freshly baked sourdough pizza from our wood-fired oven, along with seasonal vegetables from our organic market garden.
You are also warmly invited to bring a small dish to share for a communal table.
The dancing will be led by an experienced teacher, and if you enjoy it you can also find out more about the weekly Scottish Country Dance classes.
We will be joined by:

Olga Skavos
Olga is a gardener & florist in Suffolk , a keen plants person. With particular interest in growing unusual plants and an avid student of the Japanese school of Ikebana floral arranging, she incorporates these elements into her own particular floral art design, where, in addition to dried flowers and fauna, weeds, twigs, herbs and vegetables are also very welcome.
Important for her is that her work is sustainable and always compostable/zero waste, where a lot of materials come directly from her own garden and foraged locally. She grows all her flowers organically.
