CORRIE CAPERS 2005 VIKING FESTIVAL
7th August - Sunday 14th August. A Wild week long festival of family fun and celebration of our Viking legacy that has been setting The Isle of Arran on fire for decades. Eagerly anticipated every year by locals and visitors alike, this year we have really pushed the long boat out with a myriad of day-time activities and evening frolics for all ages. Take part in Songs of Praise, The inter Pub Quiz, Guided Walk, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Creative Beach BBQ, Corrie Cocktail & Speed Dating Party, bid for a bargain at The Grand Auction, compete in The Open Golf Competition, Cricket Matches or Bunkhouse Race, chill out at The Summer Fete, relax in a candle light cafe atmosphere and enjoy recitations and popular light music at the Stanza or cover yourself in woad and show us what you're made of at The Viking Games, Parade to Sannox and Viking Boat Burning and go crazy at Up-Hellia with The News Band and Ice & Fire! All proceeds go to the up keep of Corrie & Sannox Ports and the Viking Longship.
There's so much to choose from you might not know where to start! So here's the run down on this years' Capers, can't wait to see you!
