European Communities Day at Out of the Blue Drill Hall

SATURDAY 16 MAY 11am – 4pm

The FREE European Communities Day takes place this Saturday (11am – 4pm) at the Drill Hall. It’s part of Festival of Europe Scotland.

Come to our European Communities Day, taking place on Saturday 16th May (11am–4pm) at the Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Leith.

This is a free, family-friendly event we are supporting as part of the Festival of Europe. It will bring together organisations working with European communities alongside a range of creative activities and workshops for children and families, including art sessions and family ceilidh dancing.

The day celebrates the richness and diversity of Europe – recognising that it is not a homogeneous space, and that identities are shaped by different ethnicities, cultures, languages and migration journeys.

It is open to everyone and aims to create a welcoming space to share experiences, build connections, and celebrate this diversity together.

We recognise that people connect to Europe in different ways, including those who live, work and build their lives here in Scotland.

CeilidhKids Workshops

EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES DAY – SATURDAY 16 MAY

OUT OF THE BLUE DRILL HALL

Sign up, and join in the fun at one of the two FREE family-friendly Scottish Ceilidh workshops which are part of the afternoon activities taking place at this year’s Festival of Europe Scotland’s European Communities Day.

Particularly aimed at families with children aged 3-9 years, new Scots and Old Scots can discover and enjoy for the first or 100th time the dances and tap along to the music.

Lead by Caroline from Ceilidhkids each workshop is aimed at families with children aged 3 – 9 years. It’s family dancing, not children’s dancing so children should be accompanied by an adult willing to join in. One adult can dance with two children.

The dance steps are simplified and non-scary. As it is a shoes off dance floor there is a chance for everyone to show off their favourite socks!

Sign up via this link to be assured of a space: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/ceilidhkids-workshop…

Workshop 1: 2pm – 2.55pm

Workshop 2: 3.05pm – 4pm

But there will be first come spaces saved for those who turn up on the day! Please note: a ticket is required for every person attending (both adults and children), so be sure to book a place for each member of your group.

We hope you can join us!
