We will have a variety of local producers offering seafood, grilled food, and pizzas.

We will have both an inside & outside licensed bar, with a range of coffee & soft drinks also.

We will have live music throughout the day from Rhuvaal, and a special performance from Islay’s very own Ella Edgar Dancers.

It's Islay ... you'd always be wise to bring a raincoat. In the event of rain, then we have a good-sized inside area with balcony views out over the Sound of Islay to Jura.

Traffic for the Ardnahoe festival day will park at Persabus - we will be running a free shuttle service to the distillery throughout the day.

Yes. We are proud to offer a very limited-edition release of individually numbered bottles which is exclusively available to buy whilst physically at the distillery on the day.

Our doors will open at 12pm, and we anticipate there may be a queue forming from about 11am onwards.

We will be issuing physical numbered tickets to customers who wish to buy a bottle, and you will only be able to make a purchase at the tills with one of these tickets. Once you have a ticket then you can enjoy the festival in your own time as you wish, your bottle will be held for you until the end of the day. Any unclaimed bottles at the end of the day will be put on general sale.
