Haddenham Ceilidhs, Concerts & Festival

Hugh Rippon

Haddenham Ceilidhs

Haddenham Ceilidhs (pronounced 'Kayleys') are similar to barn dances, but with that extra something! Dance displays and singers give good all round family entertainment. Top quality bands are used, and Hugh Rippon - rated by many as the best in the country - calls most of the dances. No previous experience is needed and two left feet need not be a handicap! Whether you're single, a couple or in a group, you are all welcome. Come along and enjoy yourself!

Haddenham Acoustic Concerts

In addition to our monthly ceilidhs, you can enjoy our monthly acoustic concerts in the Walter Rose Room where top quality artists perform for you. The usual format (except on Haddenham Festival in December) is for our MC, Kitty Vernon of Herga and Sidmouth fame, to start the evening at 8.45pm and our guests to do a couple of 45 minute spots from 9pm. The room only seats 60 so make sure you're there in plenty of time to enjoy the entertainment.

Haddenham Festival

The Festival in December is an extension of the monthly Ceilidhs and Acoustic Concerts and give you an unique opportunity to enjoy performances that cannot normally be seen at our regular monthly events. The day starts in the main hall at 4.00pm with OYSTERBAND-Acoustic, continues with The Big Caper then the The Oyster Ceilidh Band return for the evening ceilidh. And there are even more things happening in The Walter Rose Room with Songs of Trial and Triumph then Sara Grey, Kieron Means
and Ben Paley. If you cannot make the whole day, then why not just try one or two concerts, where individual tickets can be purchased. Please see booking form and our publicity leaflet for more information.

New Year's Eve Extravanganza

Haddenham Village hall is only available to us every other year and so you will have to wait until 2011 for our next NYE Extravaganza.

Informal Music Sessions

You chance to join in - at 7.15pm most evenings - make it a great party!

Admission

Admission to the venue gives admission to all events for the evening and you can move from ceilidh to concert at your leisure.
