Feis Ile

Welcome to Fèis Ìle 2026 — Our 40th Anniversary Festival

Forty years is a milestone we are incredibly proud of, and one that belongs to everyone who has helped shape Fèis Ìle into what it is today — the distilleries, partners, musicians, volunteers and festival-goers.

Whether you love whisky, the island of Islay, or both in equal measure, 2026 is set to be a very special year.

Fèis Ìle has evolved over time, shaped by community, whisky and the people who return year after year to celebrate the island. From its early days, when whisky played only a small part, it has grown into a festival where friends gather to enjoy Islay, share experiences and celebrate together through whisky.

This year’s programme is a little different. We have done our best to bring everything together in one place, but this is our first version, so there may be the occasional error or gap. Thank you for bearing with us.

As events are confirmed and final details are added, updated versions of the programme will be released in the lead-up to the festival. Please keep an eye out for the latest version.

We are also planning a mobile-friendly version closer to the time, so you will be able to access everything you need while out and about on Islay. If you have any feedback, please contact us at me***@********co.uk

From all of us on the Fèis Committee, we hope you have a wonderful festival.

Here’s to forty years of Fèis Ìle — and many more to come.
