The unique and exciting ØY Festival is back for 2018, bringing together a range of artists and performers in a festival of islands.

The ØY Festival was launched in 2016 to celebrate islands, islanders and island life and is hosted by the community in Papa Westray. Based at the recently refurbished Kelp Store, the festival brings a mix of art, performance and exhibitions over the course of its three-day programme.

This year the festival will be held between the 16th and 18th of November and is titled Space Station ØY, encouraging visiting artists, thinkers, writers, engineers, scientists, makers, performers and sound creators to re-imagine islanders as future pioneers of far and distant planets.

It's a weekend of live performance, music, space walks, workshops, exhibition, cinema and a deep space disco, all centered in and around the beautiful Papa Westray. Find out more via the official website and on Facebook.
