This summer Scotland’s festival calendar is packed with family-friendly events set to entertain all ages, while providing the perfect opportunity to explore some of the country’s most impressive locations. From popular music festivals to specialised cultural events and outré entertainment, there is something for all. “People are feeling the pinch, but the flip side of that is there will be a lot of staycations and days out to the zoo or safari parks, so festivals become part of that,” says John Richardson, director of Party at the Palace.
The two-day family-friendly festival at Linlithgow, West Lothian will include performances from retro acts including Ocean Colour Scene, Del Amitri, Human League and Sophie Ellis Bextor.
Overlooking Linlithgow Palace and loch, the site is just a ten-minute walk from the town’s train station, making it easily accessible for those with smaller children.
There will be storytelling, face painting, a climbing wall, zip wire and a chance to try out circus skills. There are also family meal deals and children’s portions on offer, and camping is available at the nearby Loch House Caravan Park.
