Queer Ceilidh with the Rainbow Folk

Saturday 16th May 2026

The Rainbow Folk are coming to Coventry with the queerest ceilidh in town!

Join us on the dance floor for an LGBTQ+ led evening of live music, dancing and laughter.

 

Our incredible live band combines accordion, fiddle and guitar with self-penned folk tunes and infectious enthusiasm. You don’t need any experience of ceilidh (kay-lee) dancing to join in as our friendly and inclusive caller will lead you through the dances step-by-step.

Folks of all queer/LGBTQ+ identities and allies welcome!

 

Featuring: Lisa Heywood (caller), Natalie Brookes (accordion), Beth Gifford (fiddle) plus a special guest on guitar!

 

Access and inclusion
We want our events to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. We will be using gender-free dance instructions and also welcome folks with access requirements to join us on the dance floor. If you’d like to discuss any specific requirements or have questions about access please contact us at therainbowfolk@gmail.com

 

You can also find access information for The Albany Theatre here.
