We have weekly events in The Colonsay and activities and island-wide special events throughout the year.
From our annual Easter egg hunt and games in the Colonsay hotel garden to the Saturday or Tuesday night ceilidhs in the village hall, you will find it listed here.
Conversations @ The Edge, Colonsay's Book Festival, is in April. It has recently featured famous Scottish authors such as Ian Rankin, Alexander McCall Smith, Val McDermid, Candia McWilliam and Mairi Hedderwick, it always promises to be a feast of Scottish writing.
Colonsay is holding its 10th FESTIVAL OF SPRING in May 2019. It will run for 3 weeks and will offer an extraordinary range of guided walks, talks, activities, lectures and workshops. From birds and wildflowers to painting and sculpting, foraging and cooking and photography courses. There will be some evening events as well. Something for everyone!
The 11th COLONSAY FOLK FESTIVAL will be staged from Attracting the cream of Scotland's folk music talent, this event sells out very fast!
Autumn FOOD and DRINK Festival will run from 9th October for 2 weeks. We have celebrity experts demonstrating, presenting and tasting (in 2017 we had Mary Contini (cookery writer and TV presenter), Charles McLean (renowned whisky expert) and Geraldine Coates to teach you all about gin). From tastings to baking, preserving, foraging and cooking sessions. Plenty also for children; baking, jam making, craft sessions, treasure hunt and outdoor activity trails.
