Nautical mayhem abounds at one of the undisputed highlights of our calendar - our Pirate Ceilidh on Fri 20th November at SE27's Portico Gallery (23a Knights Hill, West Norwood) starring London's Sea Shanty Choir, The Salts and Ceilidh Tree - set sail on the good ship Portico with a soundtrack of songs from the golden age of sail courtesy of Trad Academy's Sea Shanty Choir alongside BBC award winning pirate folk rockers The Salts. Ace ceilidh band Ceilidh Tree and pirate caller Chris Faulkner will be leading sea themed dances & there'll be rum punch and scrumpy at the bar, with food from Beamish & McGlue to stave off the scurvy! ?8 adults, ?6 concessions and ?5 under 18s until Friday 13th November. Thereafter it'll be ?10 / ?8 / ?7 - we expect this popular event to sell out - please book early if you're hoping to sail! Boarding 7pm @ The Portico Gallery, 23a Knights Hill, West Norwood SE27 0HS
