St Magnus Festival, Orkney

Week-long arts festival (late-Jun)

096 Shrine Mont Tour

Timed for midsummer, the St Magnus Festival, a week-long arts festival, often combines music, drama, dance, literature and the visual arts with the long nights and Orkney’s remarkable landscape to good effect.

But even without this there is often something of interest in the program for anyone; usually including a world premier or two.

Several venues around Kirkwall are used, but the box office (this entry's map marker) is the St Magnus International Festival Office.
