Everything you need for a successful Ceilidh or Barn Dance
Hilltop Ceilidh have been calling the steps and ringing the changes on the UK ceilidh scene long enough to earn a substantial following.
We can deliver various, comprehensive barn dance packages providing everything you need to make your event special.
Packages & Add-ons to Enhance Your Event
 Alongside our core packages, we offer a range of carefully designed packages and add-ons to enhance your event and keep the celebration flowing smoothly from start to finish.
Disco Add-Ons
Our Disco Add-ons are perfect if you do not want the celebrations to end after the ceilidh. This option allows the energy to continue into the evening with music that keeps guests on the dance floor once the ceilidh has finished.
Background or Ceremony Music
For ceremonies and receptions, we provide background or ceremony music ranging from a solo fiddle to a full band. This can be used while you walk down the aisle, during drinks receptions, or to entertain guests as they arrive and mingle.
Experienced Callers
We work exclusively with experienced callers who are confident, patient, and skilled at engaging guests of all ages and experience levels. Our callers ensure everyone feels comfortable joining in, even if they have never danced a ceilidh before.
Extensive Repertoire
Our extensive repertoire includes English, Scottish, Irish and American tunes and dances, giving us the flexibility to shape the evening around your crowd and keep everyone enjoying the music and dancing throughout the event.

Neil
We had a ceilidh for our wedding anniversary on Saturday and the Hilltop Ceilidh band were fantastic. The guitar and box player were brilliant musicians who set a great beat to dance to and the caller gave clear instructions that meant even the novice dancers were able to understand what they were meant to be doing without over explaining! We will definitely look to book the band again next time we have a party!
Nick Marchant
We had a big multi-celebration for friends and family over the Christmas period and it was a great move to include a ceilidh as everyone from toddler to grandparent was able to join in. The Hilltop Ceilidh were helpful right from the off and were fantastic on the day fitting in and adapting to the mood and vibe of the party. We had the smallest combo with a caller which was perfect for our venue and the dance floor was full, enthuiastic and engaged the entire time – this is testament to how well James and his band managed our unruly left-footed crowd. We highly recommend!
Paul Cordier
We hired the Hilltop band for a village Barn Dance in Oct 2018. Band arrived early and got set up. They were great fun. The music was spot on and the caller had everyone up and dancing straight away. The hall was packed but the caller adjusted the groups to fit the available space so everyone could take part. We had young children and some senior citizens as well as all ages in between dancing away. Great feedback from the crowd and they were calling for an encore at the end. All in all highly recommended and will look to book them again for next year!

We had hilltop ceilidh for our wedding evening reception and we had an absolute blast. We didn’t have a clue what we were doing but it didn’t matter, the caller was so patient and such a great sense of humour. Our guests have never been to a ceilidh before and they loved it so thank you so much, we Would highly recommend them.
