Welcome to the website of the

Ipswich and District Irish Society

The Society was formed back in 1987 and over the years has organised many events and activities with an Irish flavour in the East of England.

We have promoted both local and national, established and up-and-coming bands.

The Society and our events are open to all

Irish Set Dancing

We no longer dance in Ipswich, but on a Sunday afternoon in conjunction with Capel Irish Dancers in St Mary's Church Hall

which is in The Street, Capel St Mary, IP9 2EL

We mainly dance Sets (8 people in a square) and some ceili dances

Beginners are welcome - and you don't need to bring a partner (but smooth soled shoes are advised)


Usually we meet on the second Sunday of the month, from 2:30 to 5:30pm, however it would be wise to check in advance
