Friday 17th – Saturday 25th July
Berneray Week is back for 2026, and it’s a cracker of a line-up. Nine days of ceilidhs, beach barbecues, boat trips, sports on the machair and a good deal more besides. Here’s everything that’s on.
A few things worth knowing before you start: events are at Berneray Community Hall unless it says otherwise, our events aren’t licensed so please bring your own alcohol, and it’s cash only throughout.
