We had a great time at the Christmas Ceilidh! Thanks so much to Sophie and Graham in the cafe for making the delicious rocky roads and mulled cider.

The band played with gusto and is now called The Mince Pipers, but only till February 11th. If you come along you will have the chance to re-name them :)

Our dances attract all ages. The atmosphere is one of inclusion and enjoyment, no experience is necessary; join in or sit out whenever you like.
Our lovely caller Jane will give you the moves and our fantastic live folk band provides the energy and drive.

Thank you to all those who came and shared in a lovely dance at St. Barnabas Church for Oxford Folk Festival. A marvelous time was had by all and the band was renamed The Flapjacks.

We're really excited to be back at the castle this May! Hoping you will come and join us there. Read below from the castle: they're giving a £4 discount per person on a castle tour with a ceilidh ticket :)

Held outside in the Castleyard, the Ceilidh will take place in front of the historic backdrop of Oxford Castle & Prison, with a live band and a caller who will guide you through all the dances. Brought to you by Family Ceilidh Oxford this is a fun and friendly event for the whole family to enjoy! Wear some clothes suitable for an outdoors event, and some shoes comfortable to dance in, and come along for a dance!

Join us for a Family Ceilidh on Father's Day

Dance with your Daddy-O (not compulsary)

Our next Ceilidh is on the 15th of June, which coincides with Father's Day but really any excuse for a knees-up :)

We're back in the lovely Cutteslowe Park and hoping you can come and join us in whatever shape your family group comes. The dads, of course will get an honorable mention.

At our last event the band were renamed "The Jolly Potatoes" 😂

- A plea for help in return for free entry -

Family Ceilidh Oxford is run by one family. Our lovely musicians support us by bringing their energy and enthusiasm while not requiring a big fee. They take home their split of whatever we make from ticket sales and the cafe, after the hall hire. Thanks to them, we can keep the price affordable. There is no profit made.

I used to be on the door welcoming and selling tickets with varying degrees of competency. My other half, Jim used to run the cafe. Now the brilliant Sophie and Graham run the cafe and me and Jim have both been sucked into the band. If you would like to be the person on the door for in return free entrance for you and your family, please send me an email! It would require you to be there 10 minutes before the start and then to stay on the door during the first 15 minutes of the event. After that, you're free of duties :) 

Also - Martha our caller and I set up Family Ceilidh Oxford when my children were small. They are now teenagers and the dances don't happen as regularly now, just due to life being full of other things. Are you a parent/grandparent of small ones who could help with the organising, thus ensuring they happen more often? Please get in touch if you think you could help and become part of the FCO family.

Thanks,

Rosa
