Glasgow will host the prestigious World Irish Dancing Championships for a record sixth time when the colourful event returns to the city in 2024

Widely regarded as the Olympics of Irish dance, the 'Worlds' is the largest and most coveted Irish dancing contest on the global circuit and has run for almost 50 years

Glasgow was the first non-Irish city to stage the Championships in 2002 and by 2024 will have held it more times than any other destination outside of Ireland

The city has previously welcomed the event in 2007, 2010 and 2016, and will deliver the 2018 Championships at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in March

In 2024, the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) will provide the backdrop to the week-long spectacle, which is expected to attract around 5,000 competitors across solo, céilí, figure-choreography and dance drama categories in a variety of age-groups

Aged from eight to 30, competitors will travel from more than 35 countries including Ireland, England, France, Russia, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Canada and the USA
