European Pipe Band Championships
Description
European Pipe Band Championships, on 24 June 2017, at Grant Park, Forres, Moray, Scotland.
The European Pipe Band Championships 2017 will take place in Forres, Moray on Saturday, 24th June, in the beautiful, tree-lined natural amphitheatre of Grant Park.
Awarded over 9 out of 10 in feedback for each of the past 3 years the Championships show that the music and spectacle of thousands of pipers and drummers should not be missed as pipe bands from across Scotland, the UK, Europe and further afield gather to compete in this event, held under the auspices of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA).
Highland hospitality is well known and Grant Park will not only offer world-class sights and sounds but excellent food and drink and other entertainment from Moray and the surrounding area.
Forres is one of Scotland’s oldest and most attractive towns, with a rich and long cultural history, and wins regular awards for its floral displays, of which Grant Park forms a centrepiece.
So the scene is set for a really memorable and wonderful day; but don’t take our word for it – come and join us at Piping At Forres 2017.
