The Dome is a spacious marquee set in a playing field where nearly 100 sets danced in good comfort. Shown here is the Caledonian set at Friday night's ceili with Sean Norman and his band and over 50 sets on the floor.
The Fodhla Ceili Band from Dublin played lovely dance music in the Dome on Saturday night.
The sun blazed, the floor sloped and the music was hard to hear but still the floor was jammed at the afternoon outdoor ceilis on Saturday, shown here, and Sunday.
