Have you ever wondered what happens to make the summer cèilidhs possible? We are a small committee but we make up for it. Here is the process leading up to the night of a summer ceilidh. ☀️

We have been enjoying looking back at videos from the summer, among them are some great Piping! ☀️

We can’t thank Ben enough for the last 3 years of piping, we have watched his talent grow and become even more impressive every year. 🎵

We would like to show appreciation for his work over the last few years by showing you all some of his amazing music. (He has also become quite good at managing to avoid the bunting as he exited the hall 😆)

All the best to Ben as he takes his next adventure away to University, we know he’ll be back and there will always be a spot for him at the Poolewe Cèilidhs ☺️

Did anybody loose a wee gold hoop earring at the last ceilidh? It is about the size of a penny.

Well folks, we have to say we are definitely missing the cèilidhs! 😢

We had an outstanding season this year, we have all of you to thank for that. Whether it’s visitors finding us for the first time or returning holidaymakers or our very loyal local crowd, you supported us and have done for the last 4 years, for that we can only thank you all! ❤️

We have a lot to share with you over the next few months, so much we never got to share through the season so we will take this quieter time to give you a sneak peak! 👀

Before we move on to exciting things, we have to thank a few people for the efforts this year in helping, donating, performing and just being there! ☺️

Firstly, Ben for some amazing piping which we will share more of the next couple of weeks, Peter and Janet who donated a mountain of raffle prizes through the last 4 seasons. We have so much appreciation for those prizes (we do hope we never see those sharks again 😆)
Amelie, she came along and helped the charities and offered an extra pair of hands exactly where they were needed! ☺️ Jim for his battles with our advertisement flag, we definitely didn’t envy him, especially in wind and rain! 🙏 Our champion of putting chairs away, Mort, he has also proven to be a good welcomer for the bands as he gets them chatting! 😁 Finally we have to thank Hope as she came along and played her accordion, she did an fantastic job and we can’t wait to see her again next year 🤞

So many more to be thanked, so again thank you to everyone who lends us a hand, it doesn’t go unnoticed ☺️

On that note, some exciting news… 🫣
For anyone who hasn’t seen yet this week, we have been lucky enough to have been featured in the Gairloch & District Times, if you would like to know about our part in reviving the Poolewe Cèilidh Partnership and our achievements over the last 4 years, please do check it out! 😁

Well folks! That’s the 2026 season done and dusted! We cannot thank everyone enough for what an amazing season it has been. 🎉

Wednesday was a great send off by the fantastic Anndra Cu***ng & Friends. 🪗🎸 They kept you all on your toes with tunes and dances all night! 🎶

A massive thank you to the Poolewe Swimming Pool team, they made an incredible selection of food and a wonderful raffle. 🏊‍♂️

We also have to recognise the amazing piping by Ben through the evening! He never fails to amaze us all ☺️

Unfortunately there’s no ‘poster for next week’ but we do have so much in the works for the next few months! We will return on 1st of January for our 2027 New Year Cèilidh! Be sure to also check out all of our social media as we will be continuing to post from our summer videos and updating you with our plans!

See you all soon, if not in 2027 for the 5th year of the Cèilidhs!! ☺️❤️

Anndra and friends warming up for the final ceilidh of the season. Last chance of 2026 to strip your willow. Taproom is sadly closed this evening so BYOB!

16/08/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who came along last night and helped us raise an amazing £800 for this year’s Great Wilderness Challenge fund!

And a special thanks to Alasdair Buckets MacDonald for keeping us dancing 🎶

What a great night!

13/08/2026

Next week our 2026 Summer Cèilidhs draw to a close. We have had a fantastic season so we deserve to go out with a final brilliant night next week! ☺️

We welcome the very talented local accordion player Anndra Cu***ng & Friends!

This will be raising funds for the Poolewe Swimming pool, so make sure to get yourselves along for a dance around the floor! Let’s go out with a bang 💃

See you all next week! ❤️
