Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival has officially entered Bella Week, with organisers making their final preparations ahead of welcoming thousands of festival goers to the Highlands for another unforgettable weekend of music, entertainment and family fun.

After weeks of activity behind the scenes, the festival site is almost ready, with the first campervans due to arrive tomorrow as Belladrum prepares to open its gates for the 2026 event.

Excitement is continuing to build across the Highlands as one of Scotland’s best loved festivals returns, bringing together a packed programme of live music, comedy, family attractions, food, drink and entertainment.

Anyone hoping to secure a last minute place is being urged not to leave it too late.

While a limited number of standard tickets remain available, organisers have confirmed that payment plan tickets have now sold out, with anyone missing out able to join the official waiting list in the hope that tickets become available.

Festival goers are also being reminded that camping is included with every festival ticket, allowing even those attending for a single day to stay overnight and enjoy the full Belladrum experience.

Visitors who are not camping can still take advantage of shuttle buses, taxis and public transport from Inverness and the surrounding area, while anyone travelling by car is reminded to collect a parking pass before arriving.

The University of the Highlands and Islands will once again be part of the festival, with activities in the Walled Garden including talks, short films, interactive experiences and opportunities to meet students, staff and graduates.

Music fans can look forward to a line up spanning jazz, blues, folk, country and major festival singalongs, while official beer partner Innis and Gunn returns to help keep festival goers refreshed throughout the weekend.

With the final countdown now under way, Belladrum says everything is in place for another memorable celebration in the Highlands as Bella Week officially begins.
