The Loch Shiel Festival is one of Scotland’s most picturesque festivals: Chamber music in beautiful locations surrounding Loch Shiel - programme at www.lochshielfestival.com Founded in 1997, the Loch Shiel Festival has an internationally renowned reputation for being Scotland's most quirky, unique and ambitious chamber music festival, set in one of the most dramatic locations in the UK - the area

surrounding magnificent Loch Shiel, one of the most photographed areas of Scotland. Described by BBC's Culture Show as 'short on concert halls, big on musical ambition', the festival's directors are keen to showcase the amazing venues and locations on offer in this area by programming equally interesting and unique concerts. In 2015, we present "Strings In Nature", a festival which brings together Scotland's leading string players to focus on chamber music by Antonin Dvorak, as well as Scottish composers Edward McGuire and Sally Beamish.

What a fantastic concert on Saturday night by the Maxwell Quartet! We were delighted to have artists Jane Rushton & Nicholas Lees join us to share insights into their work. This evening was part of the Loch Shiel Festival which, each year, brings an incredible program of events to this corner of the West Highlands.

🎉 NEW TICKETS RELEASED 🎉

Delighted to say that due to demand we have made a limited number of extra places available for our wee session at the Stage House (formerly The Prince's House Hotel ) on Friday night! Featuring our festival artists, this is a free event but booking is essential so we don’t go over capacity.

Come and join us for a drink and a tune!
