Christmas Céilí

Step into the festive spirit at Carlisle Memorial Church for an evening of music, dancing and celebration, bringing people and communities together through shared traditions.

Join us for a special Shared Roots Christmas Céilí in the beautiful historic surroundings of Carlisle Memorial Church, one of Belfast’s most distinctive heritage landmarks.

Céilí dancing has long been a way of bringing people together, with music, movement and storytelling at the heart of community celebrations. Rooted in Irish and Scottish traditions, these lively gatherings have connected generations, creating opportunities to share culture, celebrate heritage and enjoy time together.

Bringing together traditional Irish céilí dancing with music, rhythms and influences from around the world, this joyful celebration invites everyone to come together, learn a few steps and soak up the festive atmosphere.

Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or trying a céilí for the very first time, come along and enjoy the festive atmosphere, meet new people and experience the joy of dancing together.

No previous dancing experience is needed — everyone is welcome!
