Chinley Ceilidh with the Barnstormers

Filed under dance, music, upcoming events

With Valentine’s Day a couple of weeks before and the joys of a Peak District Spring just around the corner, why not come and dance the night away at the famous Chinley Ceilidh?

Back by popular demand this is a wonderful night out for all the family. Music is provided by the amazing Barnstormers – a more talented collective you won’t find anywhere – and dance calling by the excellent and highly experienced Paul Smart. 

Ticket price includes all the dancing and a very tasty chilli supper (vegetarian/vegan option available).  There’s also a bar stocked and staffed by our lovely friends from the Green Lane Social, which may help with loosening the limbs, as well as banishing thoughts of making a bit of a twit of yourself. We all do it.

  • Date: Saturday 28 February 2026
  • Time: Doors open 7 pm, dancing starts 7:30 pm
  • Place: Chinley Women’s Institute, see our Venues page for details
  • Tickets: From £15 via local outlets and online, see our Tickets page for details
