General information

FESTIVAL PASSES
We will send you a code to use to obtain your passes through our ticket service provider Skiddle. You will be allocated a festival pass for each person in each act. Due to the intimate size of the festival site and the high proportion of acts playing, I’m afraid we cannot offer guest passes. Please complete the form above to ensure no complications at artist check in.
ARRIVING at the World Ceilidh Festival
Please aim to arrive on site at least 3 hours prior to your slot to allow enough time to check in and get sorted for line-check.
Once you arrive on the site please go directly to the festival HQ/office to check-in. We will confirm your performance time and show you to your stage.
Please be at the correct stage 1 hour before your slot with your equipment for line-check. If you are late for line-check this will eat into your set time.
We have a short-term equipment store for use if you wish prior to your slot, but we recommend you keep your equipment locked in your vehicle when possible.
Full details on the best way to get there by road or public transport is on our website.
CARS AND VANS
All artists will be allocated free vehicle parking for the event. But please only bring essential vehicles on site and vehicle share as much as possible. If we feel there are too many vehicles per band size, we may have to charge for some of them as we are a small site and do have limited capacity. Thankyou

BACKLINE/TECHNICAL
We will be providing on each stage standard backline inclusive of drum-kit, bass amp, guitar amp, microphones etc. Please note: drummers performing in the Shieling must bring their own breakables and all drummers are encouraged to bring their own snares and cymbals. All other instruments are to be provided by the performer.
Please make sure you send us your tech spec and stage plan along with this form if you have not already done so.
ACCOMMODATION
Unless otherwise agreed, accommodation is camping. There will be a designated artists camping area if you wish to use it. There are B&Bs in neighbouring villages, please check tourist information if you are interested in these.
INSURANCE
We expect all artists to have their own insurance for equipment.

OTHER
Please bring warm and waterproof clothes and footwear. Be prepared for a weekend in the Scottish hills!
