The Warleggan Village Band was first convened in 2014 to play for the dance sequences in BBC TV’s Poldark. (The name Warleggan is a nod to one of the dastardly characters in the Poldark books and series.) The band also recorded music for Netflix’ hit Bridgerton. Their sparkling melodies, lush harmonies and instant danceability make them a highly sought after group! The band plays English country-dance music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The band is: Richard Heacock (violin, viola), Matt Coatsworth (violin, viola, English concertina) and Chris Green (fretted strings and keys).

Daisy Black joins us to call the dances. A co-founder of Sheffield's Playford in the Pub, she has a deep knowledge of modern and ancient folk dances and a fun approach to dancing them. Daisy uses non-gendered calls.

Interval entertainment comes from the mysterious Ditchrose Morris.

Fancy Dress Welcome 

We cordially invite you to dress in a style which befits the dances this band is so famous for. Think Jane Austen's novels and the Regency period ... or Bridgerton ... or the 17th century when this style of dancing became particularly popular ... or something else, you decide.  Prizes for the most creative costume.

Fancy dress isn't compulsory - trainers, t-shirts and shorts are just as welcome.

There is a licensed bar with ale, cider, wine and soft drinks.

Tickets in advance £13 standard, £8.50 concession, £3 5-16s, under 5s and carers are free. We often sell out in advance, but when we have them on the door prices are £14, £9 and £3.  Booking is at http://buytickets.at/oxfolkceilidhs
