Special Event - Twmpath - Welsh Ceilidh & Tea Party

Print Email

WIT special events are on from late afternoon to early evening.

This year we have three WIT special events lined up! 

One of them is a Twmpath - which is a Welsh style ceilidh. We are having with a tea party with it (and that means yummy cakes!), and we are looking into the possibilty of some Twmpath dancing (If you know a woman who can lead a workshop in Twmpath dancing please ask her to get in touch).

 

A Twmpath is a Welsh word literally meaning a hump or tump, once applied to the mound or village green upon which the musicians sat and played for the community to dance. It is used today to mean a Welsh version of the barn dance or cĂ©ilidh. (From Wikipedia)

 

The other WIT special events this year are:

  • A Recycled Ball giving us a chance to get creative with our ballgowns (or maybe dust off the tux?), There will definitely lots of dancing at this event.
  • And Women through Herstory which is another dressing up event, we are cooking up some fun and games for that one too!
