BUCHAN FOOTHILLS FESTIVAL OF COLOR.
Join us for the Buchan Foothills Festival of Colour, a magical evening bursting with colour, rhythm, and fun for the whole family.
The night kicks off with our enchanting Lantern Walk, lighting up the valley as we weave our way to the Butter Factory in a river of glowing lights.
Then the energy turns up with a Neon Dance Party – think dazzling lights, epic beats, and non-stop movement as our DJ brings the vibes and the dancefloor literally lights up! Expect roving entertainers, face painting, food trucks serving delicious eats, and activities to delight kids (and the young at heart).
We’ll wrap up the night with a bang (fireworks!), the perfect finale to a night that promises joy, connection, and a whole lot of sparkle.
✨ Don’t miss the glow-up – it’s Buchan like you’ve never seen it before!
Saturday July 5th: 11am-1pm
BREAK FREE FROM THE CHAOS
A Winter Festival Workshop with Kirstie Pearce & Christine Watts
Step out of the chaos of life and into stillness.Join us for this powerful 2-hour immersion designed to help you reset, recharge and reconnect.
Guided by facilitators Kirstie Pearce and Christine Watts, this transformational experience will take you deep into your own presence through guided meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and a soul-awakening cold plunge in the Buchan River.
This is your invitation to pause, breathe, raise your vibration and return to the wisdom of your body—beneath the busyness and beyond the overwhelm. Whether you’re seeking clarity, calm, or courage, this workshop will leave you feeling grounded, open-hearted and re-energised.
Come home to yourself, even just for a single moment.
Spaces are limited. Dress warmly and bring a blanket, yoga mat, towel, water bottle, and an open heart.
Saturday & Sunday: July 5th & 6th:
Lunch: 12-2pm / Dinner: 6-8pm
