ACTIVITIES
FyneFest is more than drinking and dancing – we offer a range of activities to enjoy while you’re staying with us in the Glen.
The activities below are from FyneFest 2022, but we’ll be updating the page over the next few months as we lock down activities at FyneFest 2023!
GLEN FYNE WALK
Make the most of the beautiful festival site and surroundings with a leisurely one-hour walk up the glen to visit our pop-up bar for a well-earned beer and burger fresh from the BBQ. Open 12pm-4pm Saturday, The Walkers Bar continues to be one of FyneFest’s most popular attractions – get on your feet, get some fresh air and clear your head for the evening with the walk to the old riverside bothy bar.
Remember, if taking your canine friend up the glen with you, they must be kept on leads at all times to avoid disturbing the farm animals.
MEET-THE-BREWERS
Meet the people behind the beers, hear them talk about important industry matters and ask them your questions with the FyneFest 2023 Meet-The-Brewers panels.
Details of 2023’s free panels, will be arranged and hosted by our friends at Pellicle.
We’ll announce the new lineup in 2023.
KIDS ACTIVITIES
FYNEFEST PUB QUIZ
2PM, SATURDAY, COURTYARD
Flex your mental muscles with the biggest pub quiz in Scotland (maybe?), taking place on Saturday afternoon in the Brewery Tap Courtyard. Get a pint, get a team of four, get your thinking cap, chuck a quid each in the bucket for charity and join in with a chaotic afternoon of trivia. The winners will be crowned the champions and rewarded with a stack of tokens to use in celebration of their victory.
Claiming a table early is highly advised – every year the quiz hits capacity and it’ll be your own fault if there’s nae space left.
FYNEFEST BINGO
2PM, FRIDAY, COURTYARD
Cash bingo, FyneFest style! Hosted by the inimitable Elaine, we’re looking for lines and houses in the courtyard on Friday afternoon.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Dobbers).
YOGA
10.30AM & 11.30am, SATURDAY & SUNDAY, MAIN MARQUEE
Looking for a way to heal your body and soul after a big night on the dancefloor? How does a morning yoga session lead by an expert instructor sound? With mats provided and sessions designed for beginners, all you need to do is come along with an open mind and a bit of energy and 45 minutes of mindfulness later you’ll be back on your feet feeling right as rain and ready for another day of beer, food and music!
