Visitors to last year’s Findhorn Bay Festival spent more than £500,000 in the local economy, it has been calculated.

In addition, nearly 9000 people attended the 119 free or ticketed events which took place over ten days from September 20 onwards.

Kresanna Aigner, the festival’s director said: "This year built on the success and engagement seen previously and provided our audiences with the very best in cultural experiences.

“The festival programme was eclectic and did what we wanted the most which was to welcome the world to Moray to celebrate the very best of local, national and international experiences in music, theatre, dance, circus, exhibitions and family events for all to enjoy.”

The festival was held for the first time in 2014. Since then it’s been staged every second year, barring a break during the pandemic.
