A DEVON charity is holding five inclusive events for anyone who's ever wanted to try ceilidh dancing but never had the opportunity before.

- by ECHO REPORTER

Wren Music is staging the ceilidhs at accessible locations this summer and autumn, when it will be experimenting with new folk dance ideas and building an inclusive ceilidh community.

The ceilidhs will have adaptable dance options and gender-neutral dance calls, and people can take part solo, with a partner or in a group. No dance experience is needed, and all abilities, agilities, ages and identities are welcome.

Okehampton-based Wren Music has also formed a professional band for the project, featuring musicians Billie Bottle, Hannah Cumming, Jason Rice, Jo Miekle, Jon Dyer and Maz McNamara.
