The Hebridean Baker
- We are very happy to welcome back the very popular Hebridean Baker.
- International best-selling author and BBC TV presenter Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker was born and raised on the beautiful island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Inspired by family recipes, Scottish flavours and the myths & legends of the Hebrides, his four cookbooks have made him Scotland’s best-selling cookbook author.
- Named ‘The Stanley Tucci of the Hebrides’, Coinneach’s debut BBC series Hebridean Baker: Nordic Islands sees him travel across Scandinavia learning about the recipes, culture and people of these northern isles.
- His distinctive approach has earned him Scotland's Food & Drink Influencer of the Year title, and he has had ten sell-out North American book tours over the past few years. His social media precense on instagram @hebrideanbaker with his unique take on foodie travel adventures have been viewed over 31 million times.
- Get your tickets now! He sold out on his last visit.

seven Nations
The story of SEVEN NATIONS is that of a truly original and determined band that began in New York City, with members now hailing from California to Toronto, to Florida. They have for years booked their own tours and have had their own PBS & CNN specials. Throw away any preconceived notions you may have about Celtic music...this is a band that has invented its own sound and attracted a prodigious national and international following.
It is great to have you Back!
