Ceilidh For Ukraine

Event information

Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band are delighted to be playing a ceilidh on Friday 20th December 2024, at Stoke Gabriel & Torquay Police Football Club, to raise funds for Ukrainian Action, a fantastic charity which is sending conveys of trucks with humanitarian aid from the UK to Ukraine.

Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band (whose members are from Totnes and Stoke Gabriel) will be providing fabulous music and calling the dances. There will be a bar and food from South Devon Hog Roast.

All ages welcome. Tickets - adults £20/£10, child £5 - plus 10% booking fee.
Please buy PREMIUM tickets (£20) if you can, to help us raise even more money for the Ukrainian Action charity.

A number of men from Stoke Gabriel have been drivers on Ukrainian Action convoys taking trucks full of aid supplies from the South Devon to Poland, where Ukrainian volunteers take them on to their final destinations near the front line. Since March 2023 Team Devon has grown to 22 drivers, and has driven 38 vehicles to Poland or Ukraine, 21 of which have been donated by Team Devon members. They have raised over £90,000 for Ukrainian Action, including over £9,000 by harvesting, processing and selling firewood in Stoke Gabriel and nearby.

Stoke Gabriel resident Neil Millward, who is one of the convoy drivers, and is organising the ceilidh, said “It’s going to be another fun evening - great music and dancing - and the proceeds will help the long suffering people of Ukraine.”

Friday 20th December 2024, 6.30pm (dancing starts 7.30pm)
Venue: Stoke Gabriel & Torquay Police Football Club, Broadley Lane, Stoke Gabriel, Totnes TQ9 6RR (just outside Stoke Gablriel)
