 Get
ready for the Spirit of Speyside Festival 2006!
The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival celebrates is
eight year by making it even easier for visitors to
decide which events to attend. The brand new festival
website has already been visited by Speyside whisky fans
from Europe, USA, Far East, Russia and the Antipodes.
Events this year include distillery tours at for example
Aberlour (see picture), Glen Moray,
Balmenach, Mortlach and Longmorn. The
festival will also house whisky masterclasses, whisky
walks, whisky dinners and minibus tours to ceilidhs,
real ale tastings, book signings, dolphin cruises,
cooperage tours and much more. There are also locally
organized family friendly activities.
Online booking
The website also features a free on-line booking system
which allows visitors to plan and book their trip to the
festival in advance, together with comprehensive details
about every event, information on how best to travel to
the area, get around, places to stay and where to eat
and all the necessary contacts details they require.
New: Leave the car!
This year, online visitors can also buy tickets for a
unique bus service with routes organized around festival
events allowing passengers to enjoy a dram or two
without a care in the world. The three ‘Whisky Festival
Special’ bus routes’ timetables have been carefully
planned to allow for convenient travel between events
using a single ‘hop on, hop off’ day ticket. The
complete bus timetable is published on the website
together with a map of the area.
The festival is open from Thursday, 27th April to Monday,
1st May.
Tickets may be purchased off-line directly with the
event provider – and on the day at the gate if spaces
are still available. However if you love Speyside
whisky, we recommend you visit
www.spiritofspeyside.com and make reservations
online now.
Bookings and payments in advance for all events is
possible online using credit or debit card payment after
which confirmation and tickets are emailed immediately.
Simultaneously booking details are sent to each provider,
so they know when to welcome guests. The website is also
geared to handle more specific or complex enquires sent
direct by email (enquiries@spiritofspeyside.com).
Enjoy!
