FESTIVAL OF SPRING 2012

Following the huge success of our first Festival of Spring, we are delighted to announce that Colonsay is hosting its second Festival of Spring from 28th April to 18th May 2012.

Spring on Colonsay is a magical time, we often have our best weather in May and the days are wonderfully long. The Festival is a celebration of all that spring on the island has to offer.

From discovering wildflowers and birds, to painting and cooking, we have a number of outstanding lecturers, artists and experts in their fields to lead the various walks, talks and activities.

Some activities will have limited numbers so do book to avoid disappointment on the day.
