With - just a little - optimism starting to come with the gentle easing of Coronavirus restrictions, we are starting to get bookings for next year and already have 18 Ceilidhs booked in. If the vaccine is not ready by then, we will honour the bookings deposits if they have to move on to a later date and maintain the fee at the same price. Some weddings are going ahead regardless - but possibly with much reduced numbers of guests - and we can organise the dances to be with just family groups if necessary.?! ... See MoreSee Less
