Due to the ongoing (Covid 19) pandemic, the committee made the difficult decision last night to cancel The 2020 North Ronaldsay Sheep Festival. By doing so, we will be protecting the islands community and the sheep festival volunteers.
On behalf of the sheep festival committee, I would like to thank you all for your support and understanding during these unprecedented times.
Stay Safe.
Eileen Cursiter Robson
Chairperson
THE NORTH RONALDSAY SHEEP FESTIVAL

The Festival is supported by various volunteers together with The North Ronaldsay Trust, The North Ronaldsay Community Association and all those who made everything happen behind the scenes. Without you all, this important festival could not go ahead.
