Whether you’ve been before or are a newcomer, welcome to the Aboyne and Deeside Festival!
First thank you to our loyal audience who made the 2024 events such a success.
In preparation for 2025, we want to mix things up a bit….so, we are working to include a number of new types of event, but as always, there will be the firm favourites - including classical, folk, contemporary music, talks, film and theatre.
This year, the well-loved regulars return in Illyria's outdoor theatre performance on the Aboyne Green of Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor. Paul Anderson and Shona Donaldson are in concert in the MacRobert Hall, Tarland in a Musical Journey across the North-east. The Old Blind Dogs are playing again at Tornaveen and FLaG Trio’s 100 years of Song will be performed at Birse and Feughside Church. A Summer Serenade will return to Balmuir House, Tarland with Moira Docherty, Barbara Scott and Blair Cargill and friends, and Bryan Dargie’s Chamber Music Quartet will be playing as usual at Finzean House
Other new events are a weaving workshop specifically for children, a Writing for Wellness event with Elaine Reid, a Rock/Blues/Soul/Jazz ‘Gig’ by In Transit, in the MacRobert Hall, Tarland, and a ceilidh with Cabrach Ceilidh Band in the Victory Hall, Aboyne where you can show off your dance moves
In addition to Molly Hughes there will be two other writers taking part in the Festival: Steve Garrett, at Aboyne/Dinnet Church and Alastair Scott at Coull Kirk.
As always, a big shout out to the Aboyne Arts and Theatre Development Group, the Deeside Community Theatre, and the Aboyne Highland Games Committee for also helping make it great.
We look forward to seeing you at as many events as you can squeeze in over the summer of 2025…. and remember - without you, there is no festival!
