SUMMER CEILIDH WITH THE MOLECATCHERS + FISH & CHIP SUPPER
FRIDAY 17 JULY 2026
After the success of their ceilidh during the 10th Anniversary Celebration in 2024, Downend Folk & Roots are delighting to announce that they will sign off for the Summer break with another dance and supper, in partnership with Christ Church Downend.
As before, the music will come from Bristol’s finest ceilidh band, The Molecatchers, while a fish & chip supper will also be provided by Downend’s own Good Frydays. The meal is included in the ticket price. Anyone requiring an alternative meal should contact us before booking.
Tickets for the ceilidh, which takes place at Christ Church Downend on Friday 17 July 2026, are available online from downendfolkandroots.com, as well as from the Parish Office and Downend Cards and Gifts. They are priced at £15 each (£10 under-18s if accompanied by a paying adult), in advance only, and are strictly limited to 100. Doors open at 7.00pm supper will be served at 7.30pm and the dancing will begin at around 8.00pm. Please note that this event is not included in the Summer Season Ticket and is a stand-alone event in partnership with the church.
There will be a bar, stocking cider, soft drinks, wine, hot drinks and real ale from Bristol’s Hop Union Brewery. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own glass/mug/tankard, as well as reusable bottles for water, as part of the drive to be more environmentally aware; there is a 50p discount for those that do. There will also be sweet treats available at the bar courtesy of Radstock-based The Great Cake Company.
