Gaelic Music, Drama & Film-making Weekend 2026 (Badaguish)

Join us for an exciting weekend of creativity, collaboration and Gaelic language at the beautiful Badaguish Outdoor Centre from 5pm Friday 19th – 5pm Sunday 21st June 2026.

Open to all Gaelic-speaking pupils from P7 – S4, this residential weekend offers a unique opportunity to develop skills in music, drama and film-making while spending time with other young people in a fully immersive Gaelic environment.

Participants will take part in a range of inspiring workshops, including:

Set amongst the stunning surroundings of the Cairngorms National Park, the weekend is a fantastic chance to build confidence, make new friends and learn new creative skills through Gaelic. By the end of the weekend, participants will have recorded and produced their own music video. Previous residential events have created outstanding films, including Òran, which has been nominated for an award at this year’s FilmG Competition.

We are grateful for the financial support from Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Astar which allows us to make this event ‘Pay what you can’, meaning families are able to pay what they can afford.

On the booking site, you will see four payment options, starting with “I can’t pay anything and would like to get a free place.” If you can pay more, then you have options to pay £25, £50, £75, £100 or £125.

£125 represents the cost of accommodation and food (excluding workshops and evening activities). We want every child to be able to take advantage of this opportunity, so please choose the payment option that suits you. The weekend can also be paid for in instalments. If you would like to pay this way, please contact Lorraine.
