Join Beluga Lagoon for their biggest headline show so far which will take to the stage at the magnificent Floors Castle in Kelso on Friday the 22nd of August 2025. This landmark performance at one of Scotland’s most breath-taking venues marks an exciting chapter in the band’s journey. The musical project of Andrew O’Donnell is one which has sold out the Barrowlands in the quickest time ever (3 mins) and a sell-out at the O2 Academy Glasgow in December, so this is one not to be missed! O’Donnell, a wildlife cinematographer and singer-songwriter whose blend of Celtic, folk and rock, tries to encapsulate the rugged Scottish landscape. His songs evoke feelings and memories of wandering through glens, sitting by rivers, or being out at sea. This unique ability to express the essence of Scotland’s natural wonders through music has gained Beluga Lagoon a dedicated following and has earned them a reputation as one of the most original and compelling acts in the Scottish music scene. A show suitable for all-ages, with age 5 and under go free. TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK. Join the troupe at Floors Castle for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ like you’ve never seen before. In usual HandleBards style, expect riotous amounts of energy, a fair old whack of chaos, and a great deal of laughter. And what’s the play about?
