A weekend at the Oban Winter Festival

I recently spent a weekend at the Oban Winter Festival and what an amazing weekend it was! Now in its sixth year it has grown from a reindeer parade and craft fair into a ten-day all singing-all dancing twinkling Christmassy extravaganza. The harbour town is a popular gateway to islands such as Mull, Colonsay and Barra but it’s also a pretty amazing wee town in its own right. It’s a town where the residents all know each other, everyone is on first name terms and you feel part of a community. It’s a nice feeling.
I can highly recommend getting up there and experiencing it for yourself the next time it’s on. Why? Here are my highlights…

Corran Halls Craft Fair​

Stalls and stalls filled with homemade Christmas decorations, yummy cakes and tablet, photos of the incredible scenery, transformed into glass plaques and posters, calendars, big woolly scarves and beautiful wreaths. Not to mention lots of cheery residents up for a good chat. Lovely jubly.
