CELEBRATE BRITTANY!
On Saturday 16 May from 2pm, come to the garden at Crofters Cottage to join in an hour of celebration for the Celtic nation of Brittany! You'll see the Gwenn ha Du, the 'White and Black' flag flying proudly, as we hold our gathering for Gouel Breizh!

Gouel Breizh - Festival of Brittany - is held from 14 to 24 May 2026, in the days before and after St Erwan's Day - Gouel Sant Erwan - the patron saint of Brittany on 19 May. Over this period, Breton communities and their friends around the world will celebrate the rich Celtic culture and heritage of Brittany.

We are very fortunate to have genuine Breton c***r to hold our toast, courtesy of Four Frogs Crêperie who were deliciously again at this year's Australian Celtic Festival - so come along for this and more! Did anyone say gâteau breton???

Brittany, Cornwall and Wales are the Brittonic Celtic nations, and all have a rich Celtic culture of sister languages, a shared history and legends of King Arthur and Merlin!

The Management Board holds gatherings to celebrate all six national days of the Celtic nations throughout the year with gatherings to toast the nation and its flag and enjoy traditional bakes.

Visitors to and locals alike - you're all welcome! See you there!

✨ 🎥 Check out Arden’s gorgeous video bringing Outlander dreams to life!

We absolutely loved having Arden join us at the Australian Celtic Festival as part of our Outlander themed fashion parade 🍀

From judging the costume competition to creating this stunning handmade look in just two days! Arden captured the creativity, passion, and spirit of the weekend so beautifully.

The costumes this year were incredible, and we’re so grateful to everyone who dressed up, took part, and embraced the magic of Scotland at The Australian Standing Stones National Celtic Monument
