Thanks, 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.
