Come strum with us at the 2027 Findhorn Ukulele Festival!
Set in the heart of the beautiful Findhorn Ecovillage, on the Moray Coast, Scotland, the third Findhorn Ukulele Festival promises to build on the momentum of the first two, offering a vibrant mix of music, connection, and creativity. We have an inspiring line-up of performers and workshop leaders, alongside open mics, social gatherings, two Celebration Concerts and the ever-popular “Battle of the Bands” -- it's a rich mix that will stay with you in memory long after the festival is over.
Whether you're a seasoned strummer or just starting out, there’s something for everyone at the 3rd Findhorn Ukulele Festival - and we even have an ultra-low cost ticket (£40) for non-players which includes entry to all the events and concerts (but excludes the workshops). If your partner or friend is a player, come along with them and enjoy the buzz - you might even leave the festival as a budding player! Or if you just want to bask in the joy of community togetherness, and listen to some great music, this would be the ticket choice for you. A whole weekend for £40! Incredible value.

- Meet the Tutors (Friday Evening) – Hear personal stories from our guest artists about their ukulele journeys, and take the opportunity to ask your own questions.
- Beginners Plus Workshops – These sessions, led by Jo McParland, have been designed for early stage beginners and those needing a little more safety to support chord learning, strumming patterns and putting it all together with singing. No need to have a ukulele - we have 30 Kala Shark Concert ukuleles available for use.

Findhorn, on Scotland’s Moray Coast, is known both for its historic fishing village-now-seaside holiday destination and the world-famous Findhorn Foundation Community.
The Community was established more than 60 years ago and is home to about 300 residents at The Park Ecovillage as well as hundreds of others who live in the wider locality. Many thousands are connected to the Community around the world. |

The Moray Coast is well known for its old harbours and fishing villages, coastal walking, cycling tracks, and extensive sandy beaches. It is attractive for wild swimmers and the water quality is recognised as among the best in the UK.
Findhorn Bay is popular for water activities, whilst inland there are ample forests and hills to enjoy walking trips. In June the daylight this far north is stunning - so close to midsummer, dawn is around 4am and it barely goes beyond dusk into the late evening. Perfect for sleeping on the beach to watch the sunset and sunrise! There is a wide choice of holiday accommodation around the Findhorn peninsula - B&Bs, cottages for rent, a village hostel converted from the former village primary school, camping and caravanning. At The Park Ecovillage there is an award winning shop selling fresh food and drinks, as well as general food items; it also has a broad range of gifts and books. The Phoenix Cafe, part of the same business as The Phoenix shop, serves refreshments and light meals every day from 9-5. The Cafe is located at the Universal Hall, a 350-seat auditorium which will be the main venue for the Findhorn Ukulele Festival. |
