Get ready to whirl, twirl, and laugh the night away as Fabrica transforms into a lively dance hall for a toe-tapping Ceilidh! This time we’re joined by the irresistible energy of Sussex Contraband — a dazzling 5-piece band blending Celtic fire with Cajun spice, Americana soul, alt-folk charm, and more.

With their trademark ‘foot-stomping music and great atmosphere’, Sussex Contraband will deliver an unforgettable evening brimming with rhythm, joy, and high spirits. Whether you’re young or young at heart, a complete beginner or a ceilidh regular, this night is for you. Their caller will guide you through each dance with laughter and clarity, and between sets, the band will sweep you off your feet with their own energetic tunes—perfect for raising spirits and celebrating the turning leaves.

On the night, you’ll find:

• A contagious atmosphere where laughter, stamping feet & smiling faces fill the room
• Music that makes your heart bang in time, your feet itch to move, and your spirits soar
• An inclusive atmosphere where everyone 14+ can join the fun—whether you’re young at heart, a first-timer, or a seasoned dancer.

And every spin, stomp, and smile will make a difference: all proceeds support Fabrica’s work as a contemporary art space and community charity. By joining us, you’ll be helping to:

• Spark creativity and wellbeing through inclusive activities
• Support artists to create bold, original work
• Keep our stunning Grade II listed building open, alive, and thriving

So dust off your dancing shoes, grab your friends, and come celebrate the turning of the seasons with us. This is one Autumn night you won’t want to miss.
