THE VENUES *
Welcome to the Isle of Arran — often called “Scotland in miniature” for its dramatic blend of mountains, forests, and sweeping coastlines. Steeped in heritage, myth, and natural beauty, Arran isn’t just our setting — it’s part of the experience. From ancient standing stones to colourful coastal villages, this island has long stirred the souls of artists, adventurers, and free spirits.
Each space we’ve chosen is more than just a venue — it’s a place with soul. Places that honour the land, the people, and the stories that came before us. This is a gathering rooted in Scottish music, culture, and community — a space for connection, freedom, and new stories to unfold.
Arran: Where Nature, Heritage, and Music MeeT
Arran Botanical Beach Bar
Arran Botanical Beach Bar
Set right on the shores of Cladach Beach, the Arran Botanical Beach Bar is unlike anywhere else in Scotland. Known for its handcrafted botanical cocktails and laid-back island charm, this venue sets the tone for the weekend — immersive, vibrant, and soulfully scenic.
By day, it’s a sun-soaked haven where ambient grooves and Balearic beats blend with the sound of waves and laughter. As the sun dips behind Goatfell, the energy shifts — disco, funk, and house take over the soundsystem, and the beach transforms into a barefoot dancefloor.
Expect sunset sets, natural cocktails infused with Arran botanicals, and that unbeatable feeling of dancing on the edge of land and sea. It’s not just a venue — it’s a vibe. And it’s where your Arran adventure begins.

Tucked at the foot of Goatfell and just steps from the sea, The Wineport is a stylish and soulful gathering spot where great music meets island charm. With its leafy beer garden, pink-washed exterior, and stunning views across Brodick Bay, it’s the perfect home for a band performance or an acoustic duo.
Here, you’ll find one of Arran’s most loved beer gardens — an ideal spot for outdoor live music, cold pints, and good company. With views across Brodick Bay and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, The Wineport is the kind of place where time slows down and the soundtrack rolls gently from the stage to the sea. Whether you’re catching a stripped-back set or enjoying a drink in the open air, this is relaxed island living at its best.
