Pinewoods Scottish Sessions 2026
Scottish Session I: July 10-13, 2026
Scottish Session II: July 13-18, 2026
Join us in 2026 in the woods of Plymouth for Scottish country dancing beneath the tall pines. You'll enjoy dance and music classes during the day and social dancing every night. We also have parties, charity auctions, cèilidhs, and plenty of chances to jam or sing together, swim or boat in the beautiful ponds, or relax in the beauty of the woods. For information about the facilities, please visit the Pinewoods Camp website.
Registration is now open. Click here to register.
This year's theme is "Pinewoods Ghost Story", so be prepared for some slightly spooky goings-on! Maybe a Halloween costume dance, a trick-or-treat party, or a Pinewoods ghost tour? Stay tuned for details!
