Family fun for the whole family at Blair Castle & Gardens this Easter.

Join us for the long weekend in the gardens of Blair Castle for an Easter celebration. We’ve paired the traditional family favourites of an egg hunt and decorating with a food & drink market, showcasing some great Scottish produce.

Food & Drink Fair

Scotland is known for its impressive larder and Perthshire is home to some of the finest produce there is. Browse the selection of stalls we have on offer over the weekend, from gin suppliers and beer to seafood and of course, ice cream.

Outsider Events are excited to bring to you a bigger and better 3rd edition of Blair Castle Trail Weekender on the 2 – 4th June 2023. 

The 2023 event fetaures a wider range of trail races and exciting edition of our outdoor cinema, and range of live music on the Saturday evening…

Staged within the grounds of the iconic Blair Castle on the Atholl Estate, this  weekend of trail running has races from Kids, 7km right up to the 60km ‘Full Tilt Ultra’. 

All respective races start at the event village based in the grounds of Blair Castle which nestles at the base of the Cairgorm national park.

From here on out, depending on your choice of race, runners either loop round past Hercules Gardens and back to the start, fork off up the winding Glen Tilt or head toward the 1009m high summit of Ben Dearg. Which trail will you take?
