BEAR BURNING 2026
Saturday 9th May | 4pm – 9pm

Join us for an activity-filled evening of relaxed fun with friends, family and whisky lovers alike. Enjoy an arrival drink, live music from a variety of artists, a food truck, Orchard Talks with our local farmer and cider producer, Distillery Tours running every half an hour, and Highland Games in the Abbey Ruins.

This year we are also offering two additional ticketed activities – Warehouse Tastings and Whisky Creation Masterclasses – for those who want to make even more of the day. You can find full details on both below. As always, the evening will conclude with a Lindores dram and the lighting of the bear.

A few things to keep in mind before you join us:

Please prepare for a ‘Scottish Summer’ event; the weather can be wonderfully unpredictable, so come dressed for the occasion. The event is both indoors and outdoors, so appropriate footwear is a must if the ground is damp.

Unfortunately, we are unable to welcome dogs to this event, as much as we adore them. We simply don’t feel a busy evening like this would be enjoyable for our four-legged friends. Please also note this is a strictly over-18s event.
