About the Festival
​
Fàilte/ Welcome
The 2025 Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival will be taking place Saturday 21st - 28th of June, with a Fringe festival running throughout July.
​
The Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival is an annual community-led celebration of the incredible wildlife of the Outer Hebrides. A diverse programme of events spread across the islands allows residents and visitors alike to enjoy, learn about, connect with, and take action for nature in the Outer Hebrides.
​
The Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival is a community-run festival and each year we rely on the help of our local groups, businesses, communities and individuals to make it happen. Host an event, offer a space, contribute to a Festival Art Exhibition, or volunteer; there are so many ways you can get involved. ​
The festival is coordinated by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust as part of Species on the Edge, a multi-partner nature conservation programme funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. ​
To keep up to date with festival news and announcements, including opportunities to get involved, subscribe to our mailing list and follow us on Facebook.
