Working with Scotland’s leading creatives, we present an immersive, inclusive, multi-award winning programme featuring off-the-beaten-track experiences, family activities, eco explorations and adventure pursuits. In 2024, our vibrant, imaginative, carnival–themed events and activities will keep you entertained throughout the weekend. And that’s a pinkie promise!
WILDHOOD Festival plays out in glorious grounds, lush green fields, and ancient woodlands surrounding a fairytale castle (featuring show-stopping peacocks!) deep in the heart of stunning Perthshire. Put simply, our venue comes with a sensational backdrop as standard. So recycle your sequins into an eye-catching costume, pack wellies and waterproofs, don’t forget your sunscreen and a sense of adventure. Then, with your flamboyant headband in the clouds and fancy free feet on the ground, go off in search of your WILDHOOD…
Join our WILDHOOD Carnival Parade, lose yourself in the wonder of our Witches Maze, find yourself (and a few surprising creatures) in the ancient forest, shake a tail feather with our Samba Street Band, run away to the circus, ignite your imagination by the bonfire, experience new thrills and skills with a bushcraft session, fashion wildly fabulous arts and crafts, enliven your spirit with yoga and massage, move to the soul-stirring beat of live music and DJs, discover spellbinding stories, magical mythology, and spectacular scenes around every corner! Oh and when tummies rumble,, find tantalising street-food feasts in the WILDHOOD Kitchen! We have a grown-ups bar, too. Or BYO picnic and find a place to lay your blanket on the lawn.
With 90+ activities, workshops, and experiences to enjoy at WILDHOOD, there’s a carnival of choice, with plenty to excite and delight everyone! So if the activity you aimed to visit is busy, just go with the flow, follow the rhythm of your feet, and you’ll soon stumble upon another surprise to captivate little ones! Afterwards, roll back around and catch your planned experience a little later – if you haven’t been too distracted by unexpected festival adventures. It’s the WILHOOD way…
