Scottish Wild Food Festival at Tir na nOg
PLEASE NOTE: CAMPING AND PARKING
Although we have extended the festival to a full weekend we do not have camping facilities for participants, so please make your own accommodation arrangements if you are joining us on both days.
Our site has limited parking capacity, so please make sure you car-share with other visitors wherever possible or take our shuttle bus, and note that you must have a car parking ticket if you want to bring a vehicle on site. Car parking tickets are available on the main ticket booking page.
Thank you for your help in keeping the event running smoothly!
If you are using Sat Nav, our postcode is G63 0NF, however not all systems will get you right to the centre. Best to take a note of the directions below for the last little bit of your journey! There are pins in Google maps for Tir na nOg, the Soup Dragon, and Harmony Fields, any of these will bring you to the event site, but please do not drive past No Entry signs on private driveways as you will not be able to get in anywhere except the main entrance.
Shuttle Bus - Bookings now open
Shuttle buses will be running from Balfron to meet specific X10 bus services that link to public transport from Stirling, Falkirk, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and from Cashel Forest Trust/ Cashel Campsite via Drymen. Tickets available in the booking system now.
From Glasgow
The centre is just under 2 miles past Drymen on the A811, or about 4 miles past the signpost for Killearn on the A81 (don’t take the turn-off for Killearn though, keep on the A81).
A809/A811
The A809 is signposted to Drymen, and runs from Glasgow through Bearsden and over the Stockie Muir (past the Queen’s View and the Carbeth Inn), where it joins the A811.
If you are coming from the Erskine Bridge direction, you will follow the A811 through Balloch and Gartocharn, it should be signed to Stirling and Drymen. Follow the road all the way to Drymen, but bypass the village (just go straight on). You will pass a sign on the right as you leave the Trossachs National Park, drive on for half a mile after that and you will see our signs for Tir na nOg, the entrance is on the right.
A81
The A81 is signposted to Aberfoyle, and runs through Bearsden, Milngavie, Strathblane and on towards Killearn. Between Strathblane/Blanefield and Killearn, you will pass the Glengoyne distillery, and shortly after that you will see the signpost to Killearn. Don’t take it, stay on the A81, go past the Beech Tree Inn and follow the road straight on. Go straight through the roundabout at Blane Smithy. You will come to a little bridge and shortly after that you will see a white farmhouse up the hill on the left hand side (Clachanry Farm). At the next left, there is a sign for Tir na nOg. Turn left here and follow the road up to the very top of the hill (be careful at the junction you’ll come to just after you pass a red sandstone lodgehouse).
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER AT THE EAST ENTRANCE (SIGNED PRIVATE PROPERTY, NO ACCESS), THIS IS A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY WITH NO THROUGH ROAD.
Turn left on to the main road (towards Drymen), and then take the next left, just round the corner, you’ll see our signs.
From Stirling, Edinburgh/Perth direction — M9
Take the Loch Lomond exit from the M9 (junction – there’s a sign for the Safari Park). Follow signs for Callander/ Doune A84. Stay on the A84 for a few miles until you pass the Safari Park on the right hand side. Take the left turn after this towards Gargunnock (B8075). You will come to a junction with the main road A811, turn right towards Glasgow/Erskine Bridge/Loch Lomond. Stay on this road for 15–16 miles until you reach a junction with the A81. You need to turn left and then immediately move into the right hand turn lane and follow the A811 towards Drymen. Follow the road for about a mile, you’ll see our signs on the left.
