Coll Connections 2026 will run for 4 days. Your festival ticket will include entry to the welcome ceilidh, four days of workshops, the tutor concert, house ceilidhs, and plenty of opportunities to join with others to play and sing together. The programme will have more workshops included in the cost of the festival ticket, along with options to join additional workshops (charged separately) or take time to explore the island.
People without festival tickets can pay on the door to attend the tutor concert and/or ceilidh. It will also be possible for non-festival ticket holders to pay to join some of our optional extra workshops.
Our festival tickets are £165.95 which includes the booking fee. When you make your payment there will be an option to either pay this in full, or to pay an initial deposit with the balance being due in October.
Coll is a popular destination for holidays. We recommend that you arrange accommodation before you book your tickets.
When you book your festival tickets, we ask you to start by selecting which group of workshops you would like to join. Please select your workshop group below:
Easier mixed instrument workshops.
These workshops will bethought by ear, and are aimed at players who are new to playing in a mixed instrument group, and those who prefer a slower pace of learning. Participants should be able to play and/or accompany simple tunes. Music and recordings will be available after the festival.
These workshops will be taught by ear, and are aimed at players who are confident playing in mixed groups, and who can play in a variety of different keys. Music and recordings will be available after the festival.
The Song Workshops are open to singers of any standard who are keen to sing in a mixed voice group. Songs are taught by ear, with music and recordings available after the festival.
