Burns Night Cèilidh 2026 - Strike Solidarity Fundraiser at The Ivy House!

Please note that due to construction works at our original venue, the location of our céilidh has now changed to The Ivy House, Nunhead. All original tickets still valid!

Come all ye comrades to our second annual Burns Night Céilidh at The Ivy House (SE15 3BE)!

A strike solidarity fundraiser in support of workers in struggle, organised by young members of Unison in London. We'll be raising money for striking NHS phlebotomists in Gloucestershire, and striking workers at the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield, both of whom are involved in long-running disputes with their bosses.

Address: The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Rd, London SE15 3BE

Accessibility: There is one door at the front of the pub, with an additional fire escape through the side return which—unless it’s an emergency—is not open to the public. There is one step up through the main door, to access the pub. However, there is a ramp available which staff can assist in putting in place when required.

Unfortunately The Ivy House does not currently have an accessible toilet in our venue, though they are exploring ways to do this within the constraints of working with a listed building. However, there are handrails support in two of their cubicles.

There is free parking available on the streets around Stuart Road. Please do not drink and drive.

If you require a seat, please get in touch with ourselves or the venue.

The Ivy House operates an inclusive, safe space. They are committed to ensuring their pub is safe and fun, where everyone can have a good time, free from harassment. There is a zero-tolerance policy regarding transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, racism, or any other form of abuse towards customers, staff or acts.

If you experience anything that makes you feel uncomfortable please tell the venue staff about it so they can intervene and support you.
