Get your dancing boots on! The Banntastic Festival is taking to the floor with a foot-stomping, family-friendly Barn Dance and Traditional Ceilidh featuring the renowned Alister Scott Ceilidh Band.

This lively event promises a night of music, laughter and cultural connection as the rhythms of Scotland and Ulster come together in true ceilidh fashion. With expert callers guiding you through the steps—from Strip the Willow to Dashing White Sergeant—there’s something for seasoned dancers and complete beginners alike.

Set in a decorated hall with hay bales, flags and fairy lights, the atmosphere will be warm, rustic and welcoming. Light refreshments, homemade traybakes and a tea table will be served, and there’ll be special activities for kids, making this a brilliant night out for all ages.

The ceilidh tradition is at the heart of Ulster Scots community life—about sharing, storytelling, and togetherness. Whether you come to dance, watch, or clap along, you’ll be part of something joyful and truly “Bann-tastic.”
