The programme spans concerts, ceilidhs, workshops, late-night sessions, dance displays, and free performances and sessions. Family activities run daily, and the festival is open to all. A festival campsite is available on site, and tickets are offered as day, weekend, week, or individual event passes. The festival also supports a dedicated charity.
