In a symphony of bagpipes, haggis, and lively tunes, the Scottish Weekender No2 is set to paint Glenworth Valley, New South Wales, in hues of tartan from January 19th to 21st. 

Hosted by the sensational Mary Kiani, this festival promises a unique blend of Scottish tradition and down-under revelry.

Friday’s kick-off: The festivities begin at 3pm with a check-in, followed by a deep-fried feast at The Chip Shop by Shona Tough. 

As the night unfolds, the air will be filled with live music around the fire pit, featuring Mary Kiani, Ramsay McInnes, and Tricia Kerr. Fancy yourself a singer? Bring your guitar and join the musical bonanza!

Saturday’s highlights: The day kicks off with a hearty breakfast, followed by a solo bagpipe competition and a Ceilidh dance practice. The evening sees the grand Burns Supper proceedings, complete with piping in the haggis, Burns’ poetry, and a traditional Scottish feast prepared by top chef Karen McPherson. The night crescendos into a live Ceilidh featuring Chris Duncan, Catherine Strutt, and a Scottish DJ.

Sunday’s cure: Ease into Sunday with a hangover breakfast, a friendly game of rounders, and a light lunch. The event, featuring a live Ceilidh band and special appearances by Scots on the Rocks and Pipers of Distinction, promises a weekend filled with Scottish spirit, music, and camaraderie.
