Hororata Highland Games
Hororata Community Trust - November 8, 2024
The annual Hororata Highland Games is set to celebrate the rich tradition of Scottish music at this year's event. On Saturday 9th, November, visitors can look forward to a day filled with the soul-stirring sounds of bagpipes, traditional Scottish folk music, and lively Celtic performances.
The Hororata Highland Games has always been a celebration of Scottish culture, and this year's emphasis on music aims to showcase the deep-rooted musical traditions of Scotland, with performances from the Southern Celtic Fiddle Orchestra and a sing-a-long with Willie McArther. The Massed Bands March is set to be an extraordinary display as part of the Chieftain's welcoming ceremony.
The Hororata Community Trust has also collaborated with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra who are holding their iconic Proms concert at Christchurch Town Hall, an annual "party" concert and an audience favourite, this time with a Highland twist! If you book tickets to the Hororata Highland Games, you'll also receive a 10% discount on Proms tickets.
With the sounds of Scottish music swirling, people will be able to enjoy shopping at over 120 market stalls, view steam engines as part of the Coleridge Power Station 110th birthday celebration, cheer on the athletes, and, of course, HAVE A GO!
Join our community at the Hororata Domain on Saturday 9th November for a day of revelry, camaraderie, and the enchanting sounds of Scottish music. Don't miss this chance to be part of a cherished tradition that celebrates Scotland's cultural tapestry.
