Background

The Angus Outdoor Adventure Winter Festival, delivered by Angus Tourism Cooperative with support from Visit Angus, is a celebration of all things outdoors during the colder months.

Building on the natural beauty of Angus, and two previous outdoor festivals, this event aims to:

• Promote outdoor activity and healthy living throughout winter
• Showcase Angus as a destination for winter adventure, from exhilarating sports to serene walks
• Drive tourism and economic activity during a traditionally quieter period
• Foster community spirit through shared experiences and exciting events

The Angus Outdoor Adventure Winter Festival will take place from Friday 7 to Sunday 16 November 2025.

Join us in creating an unforgettable event! Your involvement is crucial to its success and will help showcase the incredible outdoor opportunities Angus has to offer.
