Haddo Arts

Haddo Arts provides a creative home for all the Arts in the heart of North East Scotland.

Magnificent Haddo House is our inspiration and focus. Our mission: to maintain its rich musical and artistic heritage, as a centre of excellence, entertainment and enlightenment where people of all ages can enjoy the friendship and welcoming atmosphere of the Haddo community.

Working with world-class artists and makers, with local professionals and communities, schools and other arts organisations, Haddo Arts creates a distinctive annual programme across the whole of Haddo – the House, the Hall and the Country Park.

Haddo Arts organises and promotes the annual Festival at Haddo House, Hall and Country Park, with music, visual arts and theatre events, as well as other arts events through the year. We will be celebrating the 10th Haddo Arts Festival from 9-16 October 2021.

The Festival is a showcase for the work of local artists as well as national and international performers. The Festival includes schools' work and supports emerging artists. Haddo Arts was awarded Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe (EFFE) status in 2019, and hopes to work more closely in the future with other arts organisations across Europe, facilitated by the European Festivals Association.
