A Taste of Adventure: September Escapes at Loch Lomond

A few minutes drive from the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, our holiday lodges offer more than just breathtaking views and tranquil retreats—they’re your front-row seat to two of Scotland’s most exciting September events.

Loch Lomond Food & Drink Festival – A Feast for the Senses On the weekend of September 6–7, 2025, Balloch transforms into a vibrant hub of culinary celebration. The Loch Lomond Food & Drink Festival returns to Loch Lomond Shores, showcasing the very best of Scottish produce. From gourmet burgers and artisan cheeses to locally brewed beers and spirits, the festival is a paradise for foodies. Enjoy live cooking demos from celebrated chefs like Tony Singh and Rohan Wadke, groove to live music, and soak up the festive atmosphere with family-friendly entertainment.

Loch Lomond Sailjuice Challenge – Racing on the Loch That same weekend, the loch comes alive with sails and spray as the Sailjuice Challenge makes its Scottish debut. Hosted by Loch Lomond Sailing Club, this thrilling handicap racing series welcomes a dazzling variety of dinghies—from RS Fevas to VX One sportsboats. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a curious spectator, the energy and elegance of this event are not to be missed. Further information can be found at the Yachts and Yachting website.
