The Big Gaylidh - Festival Fortnight 2024

As part of Festival Fortnight, we hope to bring together the participants and clubs joining Festival Fortnight to join us once again for this fun-filled musical evening! There will be a live ceilidh band and it will be a great chance to dance, sing and socialise in a queer-friendly environment!

This event is part of LEAP Sports' Festival Fortnight which runs from the 17th to 30th June. Festival Fortnight takes place annually, and aims to increase the visibility and participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people in Scottish sport, and provides opportunities to raise awareness of LGBTIQ+ and wider equality, inclusion, and human rights issues within the world of sport and physical activity. The festival provides something for everyone, featuring a combination of sporting, cultural, academic, social, and recreational events.

This event is free to attend, but you are welcome to give a donation.

You don't have to have any experience of ceilidh dancing as the band will explain every dance as they go along. If you're not keen on dancing, but would still like to come along with your friends, that's absolutely fine too. There will be some tables for people to sit at.

The event is a sober space, your are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic drinks. We will also have some light vegetarian and vegan snacks available. Open to all LGBTIQ+ people and allies aged 18+.

There is no dress code, so feel free to wear whatever you please and feel comfortable in! Share this event with all your loved ones :)
