Programme
We work throughout the year to plan the festival and announce line-ups from January onwards! In the mean time, you can read some of our previous programmes here!
What happens at the festival?
You'll find a variety of events in our programme. Much of the festival is interactive - grab an instrument and join in - everyone has something to learn and something to contribute!
Concerts
Afternoon concerts are a mix of guest artists’ concerts and blackboard concerts. Evening concerts are more formal and generally provide the main musical focus of the festival, featuring all the main guest artists and more!
Workshops
Informal, educational and fun! Workshops cater to musicians and non-musicians alike. A great learning experience for all attendees.
Blackboard Concerts
An opportunity to play to an appreciative audience while you perform with the help of our experienced sound technicians – all welcome!
Ceilidh
We feature a Ceilidh (kay-lee) dance, which is a traditional Scottish or Irish social gathering with Gaelic music and dancing. No experience necessary as all the instructions are provided on the night!
Festival Choir
The festival choir is led by an experienced director. A great opportunity to socialise/harmonise and share your love of singing. All will encourage you to give it a go and participate.
Jam Sessions
The camp rings with the sound of music in these informal sessions. Wander around the festival site and find a tunes session for you!
Blind Date
Put your name down to join a band led by a guest artist – practise a song to perform on the main stage on Sunday evening
