What is the Big National Ceilidh?
The Big National Ceilidh is a worldwide ceilidh or barn dance. The 2012 event will take place on Saturday 13 October.
This unique event will unite the world in support of WaterAid as thousands of people across the globe dance to raise funds and awareness to make a difference to the lives of those living without safe water and sanitation.
The money your event raises really will improve people's lives. You will help communities in Africa, Asia and the Pacific work with WaterAid on safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects that not only improve people’s health but benefit their education and livelihoods also.

Even if you've never been to a ceilidh, running your own couldn't be easier.
