We're so excited for our Ceilidh on Friday 21 November, from 7pm at the De Grey Rooms!

After the success of our fundraiser in 2024, we're delighted to have the fabulous Hot Not Bothered (one of York’s leading ceilidh bands) returning to lead us in 3 sets of ceilidh dancing as we fundraise for the Belfrey Counselling Service.

Open to all, it will be a great night out for families with children, groups of friends, couples, colleagues or visitors who want to experience the stunning De Grey Rooms and our fabulous sprung dance floor! Your ticket will include a welcome drink on arrival and delicious nibbles during the evening. There'll be a cash and card bar for those who need a breather in between dances.

There are several ticket options available (£20 for adults/ £15 for youth aged 12-18/ £10 for under 12s). Proceeds from ticket sales and the bar will go towards the fantastic work of the Belfrey Counselling Service, which offers free and affordable counselling to the people of York. We're aiming to support up to 50 hours of counselling! Set to be a brilliant and fun night out.

Book your tickets now and don’t miss out!
