🎙️🗞️ "Festivals like Speyfest bridge the gap between local event and national extravaganza in a way that invigorates the community it is rooted in and brings boundless energy to an area"

In today's The Herald we outline why events with a community spirit & local footprint like ours really matter. 👣

The village of Fochabers in Moray is normally home to around 1,700 people, but for three days each July its population swells to more than twice…

From youngsters setting foot on stage for the first time to emerging artists and the very best local bands, we had so much talent grace our stages over the weekend! ⚡
