DATES: Monday 4 - Friday 8 August 2025
Update at 27 January 2025: We're delighted to announce an increase to our student capacity. While most of these spaces have been allocated to those on our waiting list, we do now have 3 full week packages available. We expect these to fill up quickly so do get in touch if interested by emailing us at: hello@shetlandfiddleweek.com
Please note that even if you're unable to get a space for the full week, you can still be part of the event. Tickets for Day Passes to the classes and for our concerts will be going on sale soon. Check back here in January for news on when these will go on sale. If you have any questions, email us at hello@shetlandfiddleweek.com
COST: £385 for full week package
Please note - travel to/from Shetland and
accommodation is not included in the package and
you'll need to make your own arrangements.
LOCATION: The week is based in the Shetland Islands (the most northerly part of Scotland in the British Isles) in the islands'
main town of Lerwick. We also visit some other
areas of Shetland during the week - transport for this is provided.
