Village Ceilidh Dance Evening

The Reading St Andrew's Scottish Dancing Society are hosting a Village Ceilidh Dance Evening at Hermitage Village Hall on Saturday 5 December, from 7pm to 9pm. It's billed as the launch of the first annual village ceilidh, so this is the one that kicks off the whole thing. The night is set up as a way to start the festive season with lively music and traditional dancing, and they've made it clear it's for all ages and skill levels — you don't need any experience to join in.

On the night, the Society will be running the show with recorded lively music and a dance caller to talk you through the steps, so you'll be told exactly what to do as you go. It's an in-person social night to enjoy with family and friends, and a chance to meet new people in the village. Children are welcome, and there's free parking on site, so it's easy enough to bring the whole house along.

All proceeds from the evening go to St. Bartholomew's Church, Oare, so it's a night that does some good while you're at it. Entry is free, and it runs from 7pm to 9pm at Hermitage Village Hall, Pinewood Crescent, Hermitage, RG18 9WL.
