Fàilte/ Welcome
The Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival 2025 will take place from
Saturday 21st to Saturday 28th of June. A Fringe Festival will run through to the end of July, broadening the opportunities for people to engage with the islands' special nature and wildlife.
​
The Outer Hebrides Wildlife Festival is an annual community-led festival 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.
​
The Festival is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible wildlife of the Outer Hebrides. A diverse programme of events allows residents and visitors alike to enjoy, learn about, connect with, and take action for nature across the islands.
The 2024 programme included guided walks, boat trips, water sports such as paddle boarding, surfing and snorkelling, nature writing workshops, art exhibitions, photography workshops, panel talks, and more! The 2025 festival programme will be announced in the run up to the festival. For an idea of what the programme may include, please explore the 2024 programme.​
​
As always, a massive thanks goes to all our fantastic partners, local businesses, volunteers and local communities who make the festival possible.

Thèid Fèis Fiadh-bheatha nan Eilean 2025 a chumail eadar Disathairne 21mh is 28mh dhen Ògmhios. Bidh Iomall na Fèis a’ dol gu deireadh an Iuchair, a’ toirt barrachd chothroman do dhaoine a dhol an ceann nàdar is fiadh-bheatha shònraichte nan eilean.
​’S e fèis coimhearsnachd bhliadhnail a th’ ann am Fèis Fiadh-bheatha nan Eilean fo stiùir Urras Glèidhteachas nan Seilleanan-mòra mar phàirt de Ghnèithean air an Oir, prògram glèidhteachais eadar grunn bhuidhnean is le taic-airgid o Mhaoin-dualchais a’ Chrannchuir Nàiseanta.
Bidh an Fhèis seo na cothrom fiadh-bheatha dho-chreidsinneach nan Eilean Siar a chomharrachadh. Bheir prògram measgaichte de thachartasan cothrom do mhuinntir an àite agus aoighean fiosrachadh fhaighinn mun nàdar sna h-eileanan, tlachd a ghabhail ann is rudan a dhèanamh air a shon.
Bha coiseachd le treòir, tursan bàta, spòrs uisge mar bhòrdadh-pleadhaige, surfadh is snorcaladh, bùthan-obrach sgrìobhadh nàdair, taisbeanaidhean ealain, bùthan-obrach togail dhealbhan, òraidean panail agus mòran a bharrachd againn ann an 2024! Sgaoilidh sinn fios mu phrògram 2025 san ùine air thoiseach oirnn. Thoir sùil air prògram 2024 is chì thu a leithid a rud a bhios ann ma dh’fhaoidte.
Tha sinn fada an comain nan com-pàirtichean sgoinneil againn, na gnìomhachasan ionadail, saor-thoilich agus na coimhearsnachdan fhèin – cha bhiodh an fhèis ann às an aonais.
