    I'm afraid there is no Ceilidh or Geology talk this year due to the community hall and Covid restrictions.

    Festival wristband gives you access to the Geology talk for climbers at the community hall on Friday evening as well as the legendary ceilidh on Saturday evening. Plus one token for a free drink at the famous Am Furan bar beside the campsite.

Where to stay

Wondering where to stay? If you’ve never been to the North West Highlands of Scotland before, you’re in for a treat. With some of the best scenery and landscapes in the UK, there’s something here for everyone. Of course responsible Wildcamping is allowed in Scotland and so you could seek out your ideal secluded spot, but to really get into the festival atmosphere you might like to stay on-site at Port a’Bhaig Campsite (Mention you're with Reiff Climbing Festival for a discount).

There’s plenty of other accommodation in Coigach (the peninsular which Reiff is part of). There’s a website with a list of providers on www.coigach.com

The closest to the crag you can get is the hamlet of Reiff whilst Port a’Bhaig campsite is 2 minutes away from the pub (evening meals, shop, pool table and drinks).

The hall where the ceilidh will be held is in Achiltibuie, just under 5 miles away from the campsite.

The campsite at Port a'Bhaig has a well stocked shop for all your emergency needs, never run out of bacon and beer. There’s also a grocery shop in Achiltibuie where you can stock up on essentials and a craft shop in Polbain where you can get some souvenirs!
