Children's Ceili at the Commons

Run by Ark Housing

Ark Housing invites you to bring your children to our celebration of folk music. Set in the commons, the fascinating old Ballynafeigh Church building on the Ormeau road, this event is open to children aged 4 and up. Parents must accompany children.

Ark Housing invites you and your family to a special Celebration of Folk Music!

Join us at The Commons, located within the beautiful and historic Ballynafeigh Church building on the Ormeau Road, for an afternoon of traditional music, culture, and fun.

Children will have the opportunity to experience the joy of live folk music performed by talented Belfast musicians Maria Raffery (flute and whistle), Clair McGreevy (whistle, flute and guitar), and Jason O'Rourke (concertina). Their lively performances will introduce young audiences to the rich sounds and traditions of Irish folk music in a welcoming and family-friendly setting.

This event is open to children aged 4 years and over. Parents and guardians are required to accompany their children throughout the event.

Whether your child is discovering folk music for the first time or already loves live music, this promises to be an enjoyable and memorable experience for the whole family.
