UPDATE at 3pm on 1/3/26 - We are now FULL for the 2026 Festival.
-
Thank you so much for the positive response to this year's festival. It's amazing to receive so much interest in helping to restore the Sheep Dyke.
-
We have now opened a Waitlist on the website and would encourage you to fill this in if you are interested. Last year this was a successful method of us contacting people later in the year when spaces became available.
-
The Sign Up Form remains open for those who have already got a confirmed accommodation booking. Please complete this as soon as possible.
-
North Ronaldsay is a wonderful island to visit at any time of year and so please don't let this stop you coming to explore at another time.
-
For all general Sheep Fest enquiries please email us directly at hello@nrsheepfestival.com
Thanks again, the SheepFest Team
Thanks for your interest. We have now reached our volunteer capacity for the 2026 Sheep Festival. Sign Up is now closed.
Apologies if you have missed out this year. We receive significant interest each year, and a registrant cap is needed to ensure that we can host a festival that will be safe and enjoyable for all. We do hope you will follow the festival online this year and will consider joining us in future.
North Ronaldsay is a great island to visit at other times of year too and we would highly recommend booking a holiday. The accommodation section in our FAQ section may help with this.
If you are still keen to come this year, we are keeping a waitlist.
If a spot becomes available due to cancellation, we will use the information provided below to contact you.
Many thanks for your interest in the festival.
