What is Fèis week?

Join us this summer for four fun-filled days of traditional music, Gaelic culture, and creative arts! Fèis Week is open to all young people and is especially designed for beginners. Our workshops are led by some of Scotland’s top traditional musicians and experienced tutors, offering a supportive, engaging space to learn and have fun.

What to Expect

Throughout the week, participants take part in a mix of fun and engaging activities, with a strong focus on music and creativity. The core of the week is built around:

  • Three different subjects, chosen from 14 exciting options

  • Opportunities to experience Gaelic through fun games and activities

  • Group sessions that bring everyone together

All workshops are beginner-friendly, so no prior experience is needed — just a willingness to get involved and try something new.

Participants attend their 1st choice workshop twice a day, making it their main subject for the week. This is usually the one they’ll showcase at our Finale Concert on the last day.

All tutors are professional musicians with experience working with young people. They’re supported by a fantastic team of supervisors and volunteers who help everything run smoothly. All staff are members of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.

Finale Concert

Friends and family are invited along to the Finale Concert to see what we’ve been working on. Every participant takes part — it’s always a brilliant celebration of the week!

Please note: Participants in our Main Fèis classes must have completed Primary 4. Pupils transitioning to Primary 4 (from Primary 3) are not eligible for these workshops.
