Crone Fest 

A Gathering of Crones

 

SPRING TIME

May 13-20, 2026

 

Crone Fest is a week-long social gathering of older women who want to share adventures.

Everything is arranged for you, a great option for solo travellers, or for Crones who can't be bothered searching for hotels and places to visit.

We make it easy!  We give you a cool place to live for the week, serve you the finest Scottish cuisine, and have transportation arranged so you can explore coast and countryside. All you need to do is drop your bags in your lovely private room, and start doing your own thing.

Crone Fest is kind of like a great therapy session, but it's much longer and there's a lot more wine and swearing!

Cross the pond and find what you need in magical Scotland. 

 

What's included in the package?

 

  • A private room in an ancestral country home
  • A pantry filled with food

  • Evening meals catered by one of the best local bistros

  • A night with live entertainment

  • Ground transportation to and from the airport

  • Access to fully insured cars

 

Designed by a feisty old Crone for her sisters to enjoy a free-style holiday in Scotland with other bad-ass women.

 

 - What happens in Scotland...   is nobody's business but yours. -

Warning...  you're going to love it here.

Optional photoshoot

Sign Up
These are more than glamour shots, these are photos of your bad ass self styled in whatever way tickles your fancy. Do you want to drape yourself in luxurious satin and stand naked in front of a sunny window, or dress in a 1950's outfit and lie across the kitchen counter? Imagine it, create it!
