Music night with Tom Innes in the Keiller Lounge, Craigendarroch, Ballater. Free event, all welcome to attend.

If you want to join us for a meal before the music begins booking a table is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Ballater Walking Festival has been in operation since 1999.

It takes place on the third week of May every year and welcomes over 100 walkers to Ballater.

There are up to 4 walks offered every day ranging from easy, medium, strong and special interest.

Transport is either provided by mini bus or car share.

Walkers often come to Ballater for the whole week and walk most days.

Evening entertainment includes a free welcome meal, a talk or quiz, a free ceilidh at the end of the week and a group meal (paid for by walker).

Strong walks are mainly lead by qualified guides, whereas the easy and moderate ones are lead by locals.

A week not to be missed!

Register online.

Booking are taken from January 2024 on www.walkballater.com

Visit one of Scotland’s longest running Highland Games, showcasing traditional heavy and light events, highland dancing, piping competitions and lesser known entertainments like tilt the bucket and barrel racing.

From 11am – 5pm. Held on the 3rd Saturday in July every year, for over 175 years!

The Cromdale Village Summer Dance will be a great night of music and ceilidh dancing, with music from Hamish Napier (wooden flutes, whistles, piano and vocals) and Eric Pirie (fiddle).

The community really loved the special concert/ceilidh event in the hall back in August 2022 with Patsy Reid, Eric Pirie, and Hamish Napier (The Woods), so please join us again. Rumour has it that raffle will be EVEN BIGGER…so not to be missed!!
