Come and join us for a mini Scottish traditional music concert for young children and their families. All ages welcome- from young to old!

Aimed at pre school children, Ceilidh Tots offers parents and guardians the chance to take some time out and enjoy a live concert from professional musicians whilst children can roam around freely and enjoy the tunes. The setting is informal and relaxed! 
The benefits of exposing children to music early on are endless. We want to make quality music accessible for all ages- think strathspeys, reels and jigs and Gaelic Waltzes as opposed to Baby Shark!

This is an interactive relaxed session with lots of mini instruments for the wee ones to join in and lasts just under an hour. We would encourage you to enjoy it in your own way whether that’s by getting up to dance and move around or just sit back and enjoy the tunes. Children will be exposed to Scottish music in a relaxed setting and are free to roam around and experience it as they please. We also have a parachute blanket and a few other sensory elements such as bubbles. 

Come and connect with other families and enjoy the tunes! 

The concert is suitable for birth onwards and children can join in as little or as much as they please. Older children are welcome as well as older family and friends.  Due to limited numbers tickets must be purchased for each child/adult from  birth onwards. Please ensure you have purchased the appropriate adult/child ticket. Refunds are available although we ask for 24 hours notice so we can try to fill the space. 


Look forward to seeing you all soon! 😊

Ceilidh Tots is absolute magic, our kids loved it and so nice to get up close to the musicians. We couldn't recommend it enought! 

Suzanne Boyle

It was good fun, different thing to do with my son! Great music, instruments for the kids and bubbles!

Lynsay Houston

My daughter (almost 3) and I had a great first time at ceilidh tots and will definitely go back.  It was lots of fun and the children are able to join in as much as they want or just listen and watch if they prefer.  My daughter came away with lots of questions about learning to play an instrument which was lovely!

Michelle Manson

We brought our 6 month old to ceilidh tots and he had a super time! A very well organised, interactive session! We can't wait to come back on 21st July!

Would highly recommend Ceilidh Tots to everyone! My wee girl is 16 months and was absolutely entranced by the music. She had great fun dancing along and the bubbles were an added bonus for her!  We hope to attend another event soon!

Gemma Craig

Brilliant. My daughter loved it. I felt so relaxed; knowing she was safe and ok to play, and enjoy the music how she wanted, without me feeling judged or stressed about her not just sitting to watch. It was so family friendly. Very engaging and interactive for the kids. Thank you

My 10 month old had a great time and loved the high quality live music. 

James Wright

Lovely way to spend a morning, my daughter Lotte loved it

Lovely event with beautiful live music, a nice slow pace and instruments for the children. I had expected more actual ceilidh dancing but the event was appropriate for the young toddlers for sure!

We loved ceilidh tots! Our 9 month old was totally fascinated by the fiddle playing and loved clapping & bouncing along to the music. Such a fun class to go to and different from all the other baby classes on offer.

Lovely, well planned and organised event combining the ceilidh and seasonal themes.

Very warm welcome from Mairi the organiser 

Last but not least the first class  music from the highly accomplished musicians

Great wee class and lovely atmosphere for the kids.

I can’t recommend Ceilidh Tots enough! Mhairi and Alistair have established a warm, welcoming and friendly environment suited to all ages. We experienced live music, had a go at some little percussion instruments and some dancing and bubble fun - she was mesmerised! Such a wholesome way to spend a Friday morning - we will be back :) 

Maria Donaldson

We had a great time on Saturday, our girls loved it and so did we. Mairi is great with the children and makes sure everyone is included in the dancing.

Julie Murray

Great fun! Thanks for running such a class. Will definitely try and come when I am able!

Laura-Beth MacCrimmon

Our 2 year old had a lovely time at ceilidh tots! The 9.45 start meant we could fit it in before her pre nap crazy hour. It's a great way for them to get some exposure to folk music in a fun, relaxed and friendly setting. Would go again! 

Daniele Alexandre

Lovely music and props for children to play with during the performance. My daughter loved and we would definitely recommend! 

Alison O'Neill

We thoroughly enjoyed our session and will definitely be back!

Laura Mccusker

Nina Stafford

A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend our Sunday morning.  Both my 11month old and I had a brilliant time listening to some live tunes and joining in with instruments and dancing.  We're very much looking forward to the next ceilidh!  

Zara Gray

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We loved the range of instruments for our wee one. Look forward to going again and taking grandparents! 

Eilidh Jackson

The couple were so lovely and the music was absolutely beautiful. Our 2 (nearly 3) year old didn't enjoy it as much as we'd hoped though, and we felt generally it was aimed at 18months and younger only, due to lack of/slowness of movement and the type of engagement/slower tunes etc. Our girl just wanted to ceilidh dance and move around, as did our friend's 2 year old who also wasn't keen on the small shaker etc. Sorry- really wanted to love this- needs to be clear it's really for babies not toddlers.

Rosie Tomlinson

We had a brilliant time at Ceilidh Tots. It was the perfect balance of excitement and chill-out time for the babies. My 6 month old loved dancing with the parachute, watching the bubbles/colourful lights, and whacking my partner with a maraca. I loved listening to some live music again, as I have missed it now we can't go to gigs so easily. Thanks very much Ceilidh Tots!

Lindsey Gibbins 

Really lovely way to encourage baby and toddler to feel the rhythm and beat of the traditional Scottish music. Loved the fiddling. Would go again. 

Kirsty Maciver

One of the loveliest sessions we've been to. The kids were dancing and loved the activities. 

Emily  Rooney

What a fantastic introduction to ceilidh music and dancing. We especially loved the live music, what a fun and interactive morning we all had. Thank you Ceilidh Tots, can’t wait for more! 

Teresa O'Connor

Heaps of fun, so much music and very interactive, it was a delight using the parachutes to learn the ceilidh steps

Claire  Donaldson

A fantastic session. Relaxed so my shy toddler didn’t feel overwhelmed, but also plenty of opportunities for him to get involved with instruments and dancing. We loved it! More Inverness sessions soon please 🙏🏻 

Claire Johnston

Ceilidh Tots was amazing, best baby class we’ve been to! So adorable watching the little ones watch the fiddle & piano, letting them join in with instruments, and playing with the parachute for the little dance games! 

Darren McTaggart

My 3-year-old had a fantastic time at Ceilidh Tots! He absolutely loved the lively music and was thrilled to get hands-on with the instruments. The highlight for him was dancing around with the bubbles—they really added a fun, magical element to the class. It’s an excellent way for little ones to get active and enjoy music in a playful and engaging environment. I highly recommend it!

Isbel  Maclennan 

So much fun! From an adult perspective the music was fantastic and really enjoyable to listen to. Our daughter had a fab time, lots of different instruments to interact and play with and even some ceilidh dances to take part in. It was also very free and flexible and the kids could move about the room how they wanted to so she enjoyed dancing and watching the musicians too. Would highly recommend!

Freya MacLean

Ceilidh Tots was great, a lovely event with great music and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely go again 

Catherine Cumming

My toddler had such a great time. The musicians took the time to interact with every kid. Will definitely go back.

We attend regularly, our daughter loves taking part each time and we love it too. A great, informal way to engage kids with music and dance. Great musicians who are always welcoming and full of fun. 

Emma Urquhart

First time at this and both myself & little boy absolutely loved it!  It's brilliant for the little ones to experience live music which they don't normally get.  Will definitely be looking out for the next date 😁 thank you! 

Tia Thomson

this was a lovely relaxed session, with lots to engage the children, even very shy ones. Màiri takes time with each child, and there's no pressure on them, but offers a well-paced balance of activities to enjoy - plus  playing beautifully! Good value, and a lovely experience of ceilidh fun for all. Mòran taing!

Philippa  Gullett

We had a lovely time at ceilidh tots, beautiful music in a lovely informal setting, our 2 year old had a great time playing along with the drums and other musical instruments. Will definitely be back! 

Roisin McArdle

Fantastic! So engaging for all kids...and adults!

Lee Thompson 

Great experience for the wee one, which provided a relaxing environment to listen to some ceilidh music as a family. The interactive and sensory nature really helps to keep all engaged

Such a fun activity for my toddler, watching him dancing along with the trad music was so special. Thanks!
