Dornoch’s Music & Beer Festival returns on 17–18 July 2026 at The Meadows Field, open 11:00–23:00 both days.
This Highland town festival combines beer, food and live music in an open-air setting a short walk from Dornoch’s centre. The two-day Friday-and-Saturday format works well for a weekend break: arrive for day one, then explore the beach, golf and coastline before heading back for day two. Ticket pricing is published by the organiser, with separate adult and youth rates and free entry for under-3s, helping families plan confidently. Dornoch is compact and walkable, but summer accommodation can book up early, so it’s worth planning ahead if you’re travelling from Inverness or further afield. With long opening hours, you can pace the day, dip in and out, and still enjoy the town’s cafés and pubs around the festival. Check the official festival pages for updated ticketing and session information as the dates approach.
