Spring has sprung, the days are getting longer, the rain is falling sideways. Must be about time we had another céilí! Join The Great Beag Céilí Band at St Michael’s Hall in Kelburn for a rousing evening of dancing to foot-stomping celtic tunes. Our Autumn céilí sold out so make sure you get your tickets early!
If you’ve never been to a céilí (or ceilidh) before, fear not - céilí dancing is very easy! No fancy moves or any previous experience required: our caller will explain each dance, and we’ll all walk it through a couple of times before adding the music.
This is social dancing so bring all your friends! No need to bring a specific partner - there’ll be lots of friendly people to dance with.
Discounted online tickets are available on Humanitix until midnight on September 26th: $24 / $16 concession
https://events.humanitix.com/beag-ceili-spring-ceili-2025
Some door sales may be available on the day: $30 / $20 concession (cash only)

Doors open 7:30pm
Adults and age 10+ welcome. Under 16s accompanied by an adult.
Light refreshments will be available. We recommend bringing a water bottle to grab a quick drink between dances - hydration is key!
This is an alcohol-free event.
Getting here: St Michael’s Hall is located at 81 Upland Road in Kelburn Village, just behind the church.
There is very limited on-street parking in the village. We recommend public transport: the 4, 18, 21, and 22 buses stop regularly right outside coming up from Te Aro or down from Northland and Karori.
Be safe online: Tickets are only available online from the Humanitix event. Do not buy tickets from other sources such as Facebook comments or resale sites - these are always scams. If you can no longer attend, please contact us via Humanitix, our socials, or email to discuss refunds.
Health notice: Céilí dancing is a great way to meet lots of people. If you are feeling unwell then please stay home and rest this time, we will see you at the next one.
