One of Scotland’s biggest FREE food and drink festivals is back this weekend!

On Saturday 5th we have expert forager, Sharon Kerrigan, who will be leading small groups on a foraging workshop wander to explore wild foods available and share her extensive knowledge of what to pick and their edible and medicinal properties.  Foraging workshop wanders will take place at 12pm and 1.30pm.  Buy tickets in advance by visiting our festivals website to ensure you’re place in Sharon’s small groups.

For those leaving the car at home, who would like to relax and enjoy a wee alcoholic beverage, you can enjoy a beer or a glass of wine or prosecco at Café Zest or on the balcony at Jurassic Grill while soaking up the festival atmosphere and tunes provided by Lomond Radio.

We’ll also have over 70 vendors filled with fresh produce, baked goods, gifts and much, much more as well as street food from across the world all weekend for you to enjoy.  Tuck into everything from fire cooked fresh scallops with garlic butter to authentic Italian pasta dishes, while picking up some gourmet food from a mix of local producers and across the UK.

Festival goers bringing children along to the festival, can keep them entertained with Bluey and Elsa characters on Saturday from 1pm to 3pm and bubble shows and stilt walking from 11am to 3pm Sunday.  And, on both days we’ll have children’s rides, the Loch Lomond Shores Express train and all the great things that Loch Lomond Shores offers – SEA LIFE, playpark, water sports and boat & bike hire, loch cruises & trips, Go Wild Loch Lomond aerial adventures, adventure golf and our beaches and woodland.
