Do you like to hike or enjoy adventure sports? Maybe you'd prefer a quiet afternoon of knitting or reading. Some of us would love to travel abroad, but don't want to travel alone.
We are organising FREE interest groups, to meet either by Zoom gatherings or in-person clusters where we can share our interests in real time.
Send us an email with your ideas for interest group gatherings. Here are some suggestions:
- Travel adventures

A countryside holiday in Scotland
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 your Feisty Old Hag for her Crone sisters to enjoy a free-style holiday in Scotland with other bad-ass legendary women.
What happens in Scotland, is nobody's business but yours.
May 2026! Twelve of the 14 private bedrooms are already booked. There are now just 2 rooms left available!
