Dance and Ceilidh

Take to the dance floor and enjoy an energetic, fun and inclusive social dance at Oxford Folk Festival.

 

Together with our partner organisation Oxfolk, we offer an exciting range of opportunities to lace up your dancing shoes at the festival each year, from traditional ceilidhs to the thrills of contra dancing via French and Belgian Balfolk. We also offer an inclusive ceilidh tailored to families and those with SEN requirements.
