HebCelt Festival

The Hebridean Celtic Festival, affectionately known as HebCelt, is set to illuminate the picturesque town of Stornoway, United Kingdom, with its vibrant celebration of Scottish musical heritage and cultural talent from the Hebrides and beyond. Scheduled to take place in July 2024, this festival is a beacon of creativity and arts in the Outer Hebrides, promising an unforgettable experience for all who attend.

A Hub of Scottish Talent and Creativity

At the heart of HebCelt 2024 is the An Lanntair programme, a showcase of the strength and diversity of Scottish music. The Stornoway arts centre, a hub for creativity in the Outer Hebrides, partners closely with the festival to bring quality artists and performances to the community. The programme kicks off on Wednesday, 17th July, with a special commissioned concert, ""The Heart of Beyond,"" led by celebrated local artist Alasdair White. This event symbolizes the festival's commitment to celebrating local talent and the rich musical heritage of Scotland.

A Festival with a Heart

HebCelt is not just about the music; it's about community, culture, and creating a family-friendly environment that welcomes everyone. Michelle Shields, who took over the programming mantle at HebCelt, is deeply aware of the festival's significance and the expectations of its loyal followers. Having been a part of HebCelt since she was a young girl, Michelle's journey from shop manager to artist liaison, and now to a key figure in programming, reflects the festival's nurturing spirit and its role in fostering talent and passion for Scottish music.
