Set Options
We offer three ceilidh set formats to suit your event’s pace and energy:
1 x 60-minute set – Ideal for shorter events or where there’s a tight schedule
2 x 45-minute sets – Our most popular option, with a break in between to keep energy high
3 x 45-Minute Sets – Perfect for longer parties or events where you’d like more dancing time, with natural breaks between sets. To book this option, you’ll need to upgrade your PA hire: up to 5 hours.
Ceilidhs are high-energy by nature, so we recommend allowing time to pause, refresh, and keep everyone engaged.
We typically remain on site for up to 3 hours, allowing for setup, breaks, and a smooth flow between sets.
