Set in the stunning grounds of Forres’ Grant Park the Forres Highland Games offers a fun afternoon for all the family.

A traditional Scottish experience, from caber tossing to the hammer throw, long jump, high jump and more.

Games Day commences with a Pipe Band Procession through the centre of the Moray town before the Games’ flag is raised above the arena.

Visitors can enjoy craft and artisan food stalls, fairground attractions, a beer tent and food outlets. There is also Highland dancing, solo piping and massed pipe bands.
