Rightly proclaimed as one of Scotland’s most beautiful islands (the clue’s in the name), the Isle of Bute will play host to ButeFest, a brand-new three-day festival of music, food and fun. This accessible and hugely friendly family festival takes places a mere thirty-five miles as the crow flies from Glasgow. Butefest has endeavoured to compile a richly varied and superb line-up that includes both the contemporary and the classic of the music world and runs that gamut from rock to roots and folk to dance.

Of course, as well as the main stage attractions, ButeFest will have a great variety of foods for you to try. The festival has some of the best local producers alongside some new exotic flavours to titivate your taste buds. The bars will be stocked with some of Scotland’s best Craft Beers and Ciders picked from the top Microbreweries around and if lager is your tipple they still of course have loads of that and all at prices you’d expect to pay in your local pub.
