Come and join for a mini Scottish traditional music concert for young children and their families.

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.

This is an interactive relaxed session with bubbles, dancing and some mini instruments for the wee ones to join in and lasts just under an hour.

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. Please ensure you have purchased an adult ticket and any extra siblings require tickets at a reduced cost.

12pm – 2pm

Whether you’re interested in Eriskay’s history or simply looking for a relaxing afternoon with refreshments, our exhibition and tearoom offer something for everyone. Come and discover the stories that have shaped our island community.
