We are delighted to be able to return to the Lammermuir Festival next September for our third visit. IN 2024 & 2025 our visits to Lammermuir have been amongst our most popular UK tours.
The Lammermuir Festival was born of a conviction that historic architecture and beautiful landscape together can create an ideal environment in which to experience great music-making. It has received 4 & 5* reviews (Times, Telegraph & Guardian) for performances and in 2017 received the coveted Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) award for Best Concert Series and Festivals – the highest recognition for live classical music in the UK.
The Festival was established to bring the finest musicians together with local people and visitors in celebration of music in towns and villages nestling between the Lammermuir Hills and the sea. The area’s wealth of beautiful buildings continues to inspire the choice of music and artists.
Whilst you can be sure of a group of outstanding artists and Sold Out performances, the full concert programme will not be published until late May. We are confident that we will once again have no less than 12 mouth-watering performances including recitals, chamber music and full orchestral concerts. However, because we can't let you have all of the performance details just yet the Booking Process will be to make a £100 holding deposit now to secure your place on the tour. We will let you have the full programme of included concerts as soon as it is published and will then ask you to confirm that you wish to proceed and pay the tour balance. If you decide to withdraw at that stage (once you have seen the concert programme) we will refund your £100 in full.
We stay 5 nights at the Dunmuir Hotel, Dunbar which is between 15 and 30 minutes drive from each of the concerts and about an hour outside of Edinburgh. For those of you coming from elsewhere in the UK (other than the Northwest and M6 corridor) there is a direct train service with LNER via Berwick-upon-Tweed as well as East Coast mainline trains to Edinburgh with fast connection. Breakfast is included each morning. We will have a three course Welcome Dinner on the 13th and two course meals with wines before each evening performance (in various venues across the region).
We had an excellent dinner at the Dunmuir during our first visit and many of the party asked "can we stay here next time" The hotel has been nicely modernised with rooms arranged across lower ground floor (not basement); ground floor and 1st floor and 2nd
floors. The hotel is located 5 minutes from the East Beach, Dunbar Golf Club and a short walk to the town and Dunbar Train station.
