Crone Fest Scotland is a unique holiday designed and hosted by an American Crone living in Scotland. Our small-group format (11-14) is perfect for solo travellers who don't want to be alone.
You can relax and rejuvenate in a soaking tub, or hunt for seaglass along the beautiful beaches of the North Sea. Your holiday, your way.
Space is limited. Book early to secure your private room.
You're not booking a tour. You're booking an experience.
You will find our pricing is lower than similiar Scottish holiday packages. This is intentional. We want our gatherings to be financially accessible to as many women as possible.
Our goal is to connect older women, not to make loads of money.
