BURNS NIGHT CEILIDH
Friday 30 & Saturday 31 January 2026 • 6:30pm – 10:30pm
Grand Junction, London
Join us for a glorious evening of ceilidh dancing in celebration of Scotland’s favourite son, Robert Burns.
Don the tartan and tam o’shanters, sip some whisky and get ready to shake that dancefloor. We're paying homage to ol’ Rabbie Burns in a rowdy, rebellious evening of song and dance!
Our very own house band, the Ceilidh Liberation Front, will provide the soundtrack and guide you through the evening.
The Ceilidh Liberation Front is London’s best live ceilidh band, subverting the lore of Ceilidh with their energetic folk dance regime. They breathe vigour and vitality into the traditional ceilidh, whilst honouring its roots and traditions.
The Nest Collective invites you to celebrate Scotland’s finest in style.
Open to dancers of all abilities (no experience necessary!)
All are welcome at this event – groups, pairs or solo bookings. A delicious haggis dinner (with veggie alternative) will be available to buy on the night and we’ll have a full whisky bar too.
Dress code: Grand Junction has a strict no heels policy, other than that there is no dress code for this event, kilted and un-kilted are all welcome. Come as splendid as you like!
