The Ceilidh will take place at Edinburgh Academy with our Ceilidh caller. The room will be set up in advance, but if you need help with anything the janitor will be on site. Once the ceilidh caller arrives, he will set up his equipement. It'a good to speak to him to see what schedule he is planning, usually 2/3 sessions with breaks in between. Staff will be stationed at different points on site welcoming students in.
