Seafest is back and will be in full swing from the 6th to the 14th August with a packed programme of events, there is something for every member of the family.

The marquee will be back at Station Park and the committee have worked hard to bring a fantastic programme for all the community to enjoy after a hard three years of the pandemic.

Various competitions will be taking place throughout Seafest week. Keep a look out for the programme and check on Facebook for more details.

Seafest kicks off on Saturday 6th August with a mini fun day from 10am at Marine Park including Tennis tasters and the Guides are hosting a soup and sweet in the Guide hut.

Saturday evening starts at 7:30pm with a BBQ dance in the marquee. On arrival you will receive a welcome drink to toast the new East Bridge and you will be entertained by local band Tir-Mor. Sunday the 7th is Quiz night in the marquee, this is always a popular event with both local and visitor teams participating.

The marquee will be full of laughter, stories and song for the teddy bear picnic on Monday 8th at 10:30am. They are looking forward to welcoming all the wee ones and their teddies.

On Monday afternoon, the Critter Keeper will return to Seafest by popular demand, with two shows. David and his critters have always proved to be very popular with the children.

Go along and enjoy a buttery, cup of coffee or tea and a chat with friends on Tuesday 9th as the coffee morning and show of old photographs returns. There is to be a surprise competition planned, called Lossie Fowk Past & Present which we’re sure will be enjoyed by local fowk.

It’s time to look out your buckets and spades as the ever popular sandcastle competition will take place on the west beach at 1:30pm, start practicing now when you get the chance.

In the evening, at Station Park pop along to the pet show, another popular event and that will be followed by a family night in the marquee with Paul T.

Feeling lucky? There will be Tombola for everyone in the evening with great prizes and refreshments. Doors open 6:30 eyes down 7:30.

Everyone seems to love an afternoon tea, it was a great thing during lockdown to receive a delivery of an afternoon tea. Now you can go out and enjoy one in person with a few friends. An old-fashioned style afternoon tea with cake stands and china cups is on Thursday 11th and in the evening you can further indulge with some cocktails and canapes with Calum at 7:30pm. This is to be followed by music, more cocktails and a gin bar.

On Friday morning after all that indulging, it’s time for some relaxation. You can join Amy Claire for yoga in the marquee.

Saturday is Seafest Summer Fayre and it will be full of fun for all the family. Craft, Food, Charity stalls, Tea Tent, Children’s entertainment, rides and music.

A licensed bar area with Avva Gin, Windswept and our very own Seafest Bar will also be available. Budding artists will be painting the new East Beach Bridge with the help of Moray Art Centre.

Finally Seafest culminates with the Songs of Praise on Sunday 14th when all the churches come together in the marquee at 3pm.

As you can see there is plenty to keep you entertained so show your appreciation of all the hard work, pop along, support some of these fabulous events and most of all have a great time!
