Events for 8 Aug '26
The HAUGH+CROSS :-: Cyclocross Festival
Expect fast racing, festival vibes, cowbells, chaos, and one of the most fun days at the Aberdour Festival and on the cyclocross calendar.
New for 2026, the Dual Slalom Showdown kicks things off, followed by A and B races where riders go head-to-head in an open format, with the top 30 from each race progressing to the finale—the final race of the day.
Also new is the Family Relay, alongside kids' racing in association with Carnegie Cyclones. There will be a fleet of demo bikes for both kids and adults, plus a dedicated demo track.
Enter now for a full day of racing, great food and coffee, beers and fizz, and a full-on festival atmosphere.
Village Sports Day
On your marks! Get set! GO!
Head over to the Markee for fun races. There are novelty races for all ages and all levels of fitness, and a chance to compete for the traditional Aberdour village trophies for the more competitive athletes! The day will be capped off with the annual Easter vs Wester Tug o’ War contests.
Please note, Festival rules dictate that only Aberdour residents and pupils at Aberdour Primary School can be awarded trophies.
A BBQ and the Markee Bar (from midday) and Tuck Shop will be open for participants and spectators alike
Fife’s Future Rock Stars
Local guitar tutor, Nic Holson, returns to the Aberdour Festival for the third year in a row to host an afternoon of performances with his students, covering a wide range of genres from old classics to modern hits.
All the performers will be joined by Nic’s band, Stay For Tomorrow, to provide each student with the unique opportunity to play live on stage with other musicians.
Stay For Tomorrow will then take to the stage to perform an electrifying show, to allow those who usually are not able to attend 18+ venues a chance to witness the magic of live music.
Abbey Social, Presents: Stu Bell & Aidan Davis
Two of Fife’s top solo artists in one show!

With recorded music and a great caller- no experience necessary!
For those who are a wee bit young for the Family Ceilidh. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Family Ceilidh with Òr Ceilidh Band
