Tayside Hotel

The ceilidhs take place every year on the first full weekend in November. In 2010 it will be over the 5th to the 7th November.

Friday 5th November sees our usual format of performance by some of the country's finest musicians from the Scottish Dance Band scene.

On Saturday night we are delighted to welcome Tom Orr and his Scottish Dance Band to Stanley.

Informal sessions take place during the Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

The ceilidhs are held in the function suite of the Tayside Hotel, Stanley where all musicians and enthusiasts are made very welcome.

All proceeds from the weekend's events are donated to CHAS.
