What's On

Top Dogs is back!

Dog lovers invited to come and have a fun day out with their four-legged family members

Our popular FREE Top Dog event – featuring all things dog friendly – is back on Saturday 4th May at Loch Lomond Shores from 10am to 4pm.

Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores is delighted to showcase the visitor attraction’s dog-friendly status:

“This event is great fun and it’s a real treat to welcome such a range of gorgeous dogs to Loch Lomond Shores!

“Many of our stores including Sports Direct, Frasers, Catherine Kinloch and Hawkshead welcome well-behaved dogs in-store and Café Zest even has a dedicated dog-friendly area within their café so visitors can enjoy time indoors as well as outdoors with their pets.  Jurassic Ice, on our first floor, also allows well-behaved dogs on to their balcony so you can enjoy a sweet treat, snack or drink while enjoying the views and taking a breather from the fun.”

For full details on what’s happening on the day below…

POSTPONED UNTIL MAY – This year’s Springfest, set to take place this weekend, has been postponed due to forecasted high winds.  With winds of 50 to 60 mph forecast for this coming weekend, organisers have taken the difficult decision to postpone Springfest, one of Scotland’s largest food and drink festivals, due to safety concerns.  Held at Loch Lomond Shores annually, each spring, this is the first festival that has had to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
