Scotland’s festivals are full of life, celebrating the country’s spirit and history. Every year, thousands of visitors make unforgettable memories at events like Shetland’s Up Helly Aa Viking Fire Festival, proudly run by the local community and supported by local businesses.
After over ten years of bringing our Up Helly Aa tour to Shetland, we’ve loved contributing to the local economy while helping our guests connect with Shetland’s community and traditions. In 2020, we were thrilled to become festival donors, helping secure its future. We can’t wait to see Up Helly Aa continue to amaze people from around the world.
