What they said...  "Imagine Glastonbury shrunk to less than a tenth of its size, in a setting of heather clad hills with a main stage set in a naturally landscaped open air auditorium surrounded by huge old trees.  

Then add a champagne & Pimms bar, organic food, tipis with waterbeds and wood burning stoves, friendly security, and a happy family atmosphere...sounds like heaven, doesn't it? Belladrum Tartan Heart is indeed pretty close to heaven, especially when the sun shines as it does this year...... 

Belladrum; Glastonbury in miniature and the closest thing to the perfect festival you'll ever find - only, sssshhhh, don't tell anybody. It's a secret..." Jennie Macfie www.virtualfestivals.com 

"If you're going to grow older, do it gracefully – and disgracefully. And for Belladrum in her fifth year, that meant continuing to feed the big red glowing heart at her core – love and treats, not money and cheats.

 
Old heroes from decades ago, that amazing giant on stilts and his crotch-crazy dog, the delicious food fest, championing young music, entertaining littluns, going spontaneous at the Potting Shed stage and providing food for thought and sofas for bums at the Verb Garden – Belladrum with its small, human-size Friday and Saturday festival can still do all that."

“It is really gratifying to find that the Highland community has taken this event so to heart and that wider Scotland has too. 2008 had the best atmosphere yet, thanks to the all ages attendance, hot weather and a fantastic bill.” Joe Gibbs, Festival Co-director
