A packed line-up of “family friendly” entertainment is in store for visitors to the Victorian Market in Inverness this Saturday, as Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival prepare to start this year’s festivities early — by “taking over” the Food Hall!

A stacked schedule of live music, games, comedy, poetry and lots more has been prepared from midday until 8pm on Saturday, April 27 - with festival goers and passers by in for a treat.

Live music performances from John B’s Daughter, Davy Cowan, Karawane and Pigs In Blankets will be on hand to entertain those in attendance.

Also on the cards is the Big Bella Quiz. Prizes include weekend passes for this year’s festival, along with merchandise items.

The entertainment continues with performances from Venus Guytrap and poet Hamish Macdonald.

Belladrum will also unveil their food and drink lineup for 2024, complimented by tastings from Tomatin whisky and Black Isle beer.

There will be plenty for the kids too, with trapeze entertainment, colouring in and a visit from See Chelle’s Characters.

The event also promises to serve up a prime opportunity for festival goers to secure their Bella tickets with no booking fee on the day.

A spokesperson for Belladrum said: “We’re so excited for Belladrum this year that we’ve decided to kick the festivities off early with a mini celebration on Saturday April 27 at the Victorian Market.

”Expect a great family fun day with lots of entertainment, food and drink and that unmistakable ‘feel good’ Bella atmosphere.

”If you’ve not bought your Belladrum ticket yet, you can even purchase tickets on the day with no booking fee! Hurrah!”
