Solas Festival

Solas Festival 2013 now takes place in The Bield at Blackruthven, Perthshire from 21 – 23 June. After three years at Wiston Lodge, South Lanarkshire, Solas Festival has moved to up North. The new site retains the intimate feel but, the new location will be easier to travel to and has a great range of accommodation options.

The festival aims to create a generous, hospitable space in Scotland where the arts can be performed and enjoyed by all.

The programme also makes space for challenging debate with activists, writers and thinkers from across the political, cultural and religious spectrum.Solas Festival offers a creative and entertaining programme for festival-goers of all ages in a safe environment.

Camping is available to all weekend ticket-holders at no extra cost. But if have bought a day ticket and you decide to stay over at the last minute, camping will cost £5 per night.

Campsite opening hours – The campsite is open from 4pm on Friday 22nd June to 10am on Monday 25th June 2012.

Vehicle Access – Weather-permitting, you will be able to drive into the camping field to unload your car this year, but you cannot park beside your tent.

Campsite facilities – This is proper old-fashioned camping – no electric hook-ups for those who like to cheat. Toilets and water taps are provided in the campsite, but there are no showers available (it’s only one weekend, people, and we’re all friends). Baby-changing facilities are available in the festival village. Small barbeques are allowed in the designated area, but please do not light any open fires.

limited space for small caravans and campervans – please contact the office to book a pitch.
