About This Event

Heather On The Hill Festival, a brand-new family-focused one day festival taking place at the Royal Highland Centre on Saturday 22 August 2026. The festival has been created by Nathan Evans & The Saint Phnx Band and has been designed as a festival for all the family, promising a lively mix of music and all-day entertainment for all ages.
Alongside the live music, Heather On The Hill offers a full day out for families. Young festivalgoers can enjoy face painting, immersive story sessions, arts and crafts, workshops, kids yoga, messy play, a dedicated music and singing tent, lively funfair attractions and a cast of roaming entertainers who will bring the site to life from start to finish. Adults and children alike can explore the festival’s makers market, celebrating local artists, crafters and small creative businesses with unique items available to browse and buy. The festival will also feature a wide range of delicious food and drink options, offering plenty of family favourites and local treats to keep everyone fuelled throughout the day.
