Event organisers are being encouraged to continue to make the most of Highland 2007, Scotland’s year of Highland culture, by adding their events to the online events calendar.

Events celebrating the rich and diverse culture of the Highlands and Islands can be added to the many hundreds of events already shown on the Highland 2007 website.

Full details of events can be entered using the online form - www.hi-arts.co.uk/h2007register-form.html 

Fiona Hampton, director of Highland 2007, said: “We want to encourage event organisers throughout the area with events in the final part of the year and early next year to put their event details online. We want to show everyone just how much is going on in the Highlands and Islands especially over the festive season.

“The new Winter Festival in Inverness, Hogmanay celebrations throughout the region, Highland Lights on 12 January and many more exciting events going on around the area will all help to showcase the Highlands and Islands as a great place to live and to visit!”

As a result of a partnership with Highlands and Islands Enterprise and HI-Arts, all events entered via the Highland 2007 website will be included on both the Highland 2007 and the HI-Arts event database, meaning organisers need only enter their event on one or other site.

The Highland 2007 programme features events spread across the six strands of culture: arts, language, science, environment, heritage and sport with something to suit all tastes.  Events are being added to the programme on an ongoing basis, check the website now for an up to date listing.
