Daily classes with quality tutors for children and adults
A wide selection of traditional music workshops are offered along
with Gaelic drama, Gaelic language, dance and shinty.
Fèis Bheag for younger children aged five – eight.
Games, drama and music for Gaelic medium pupils and native speakers.

During the Fèis week children from the age of 9 upwards to enthusiastic adults of any age may attend work-shops offering traditional music, drama, dance and shinty. Tutors, many of them well-known professional musicians, are more than willing to be hired by Feis Thiriodh and as well as spending their day tutoring, can be heard at ceilidhs and dances in the evenings throughout the week. If participants want to buy a practical memento of a great musical week, the merchandise counter is well able to provide this.

Workshops offered will include accordion, chanter/bagpipes, dance, drama, drums, fiddle, flute, guitar, keyboard, mouth-organ, Gaelic singing, Gaelic conversation, tin-whistle and shinty.

Fringe events and activities will also be provided including a film night, an informative township walk, a children’s dance, a Gaelic car treasure hunt, a Fèis tutors’ ceilidh and to finish off the week a grand finale family dance with Skerryvore.

Comunn Fèis Thiriodh will be organising other activities throughout the year including a recording workshop for senior pupils at Tiree High School, a summer concert and a weekend of tuition in November.
