OUR WOMEN'S CEILIDH WITH ARDMHOR CEILIDH BAND!

Come & dance with every LGBTQ+ woman in the room, without even having to ask for a dance (that's the nature of partner swapping in ceilidh dances!)
Our ceilidh has been a highlight for the last 4 years!
Our ceilidh caller will teach you the Gay Gordons or how to Strip the Willow in style, so get your dancing shoes packed for a fun night!
Our ceilidh is partnered with LEAP SPORTS, who aim to help LGBTQ people access sport & exercise, as we believe a ceilidh is a great way to help you all socialise and have fun, while exercising.

Coming Solo?

Thinking of coming solo? About 70% of women book to come solo but are never solo for long once here!
We understand that it can be nerve-wracking, so we have a fantastic, friendly crew and many other ways to help you mingle.
On the Friday evening, we have some ice-breaking games at our solos social.
Group dinners are a big part of OLW, as it's can be much easier to meet new friends in a small group over dinner, than in a crowded bar - and Oban has fantastic seafood, vegan food and budget options.
Many love the fact that we split into smaller groups for hikes and workshops, so it's easy to meet people.
Our LGBTQ+ women's ceilidh makes it easy to meet people, as ceilidh's give you the option to get up and dancing with lots of people without even having to ask.

DJ TRENDY WENDY IS BACK, 2026

More info on our 2026 DJ's & performers will be coming soon.

DJ Trendy Wendy is an Edinburgh LGBTQ icon, and fast becoming an Oban Lesbian Weekend icon!

Many of the Scottish ladies amongst you will know Trendy Wendy from Edinburgh's pink triangle and DJing at many events across Scotland.

Trendy Wendy does so many different genres of music. Last year she made sure that we didn't leave the dance floor early. Every tune was a hit!

HERE is a clip from Trendy Wendy at a straighter event.

ANDREA KENNY

Andrea Kenny, rocking our Sunday night at the end of our cabaret. Andrea Keny is a Singer/songwriter with over 20 years of experience in performing & writing music internationally, both solo and with bands, a household name in Leicester & Brighton for the last 15 years.

She is the former front woman for popular Leicester band The Brandy Thieves. Andrea’s raw blues-tinged vocals and heartfelt folk melodies with lyrics that weave tales of lessons in love & loss.

And with live performances that are guaranteed to be 'an emotional and joyous rollercoaster', this festival favourite is not to be missed. With mainstream UK festivals including Bearded Theory, Boomtown, Acoustic Festival of Britain, Leicester Music Conference and Iconic Leicester festival Simon Says (and many more) under her belt.

Andrea knows how to pull the audience in, make them feel, dance, cry and laugh all in the same breath. Andrea is also a pride professional. We were at a workshop about the evolution of Brighton Pride and Andrea’s name kept coming up on posters over the years.
