The Arran Rock n Blues Festival

The Arran Rock ‘n’ Blues Festival is a family friendly music festival taking place at the Ormidale Park in Brodick, Isle of Arran with acoustic sets at the Brodick Golf Club and masterclasses in the Ormidale Pavilion starting Friday 30th April until Sunday 2nd May 2027.

The festival kicks off at 3pm on Friday 30th April, then all day Saturday and Sunday.  Limited campervan pitches available, plenty of camping but no vehicles allowed on the pitch.  Local craft stalls, food and drink of course including breakfasts for campers.

The Isle of Arran is one of the loveliest and most relaxing switch-off spots in Scotland and over the decades has gained a reputation for live music, from the more traditional folk nights and bar band residencies to playing host to bands from the “glamtastic” years of rock in the 70’s
