Northern Lights Festival Guide - Orkney

Christmas shopping
to suit you
Make the most of Orkney’s
Northern Lights Festival –
stress-free Christmas shopping
opportunities throughout
November and December, with
a particular focus on the festival
weekends of 28/29 November, 5/6
December and 12/13 December.
Most of Orkney’s shops will
provide an irresistible lure this
year, offering a warm welcome
with mulled wine, mince
pies or shortbread, a special
discount, entry to a competition,
entertainment, etc. Look inside to
find out what your favourite shop
is doing to make your Christmas
shopping experience extra special
this year.
With the wealth of design talent
throughout the islands, you’re
never far from a perfect piece of
jewellery or a beautiful piece of
artwork or clothing for a discerning
friend or relative.
Still need convincing? We’re pretty
sure that Christmas can cost you
less if you make the most of what
Orkney’s shops have to offer, and
even better:
Save yourself the stress
of busy city streets
Save those internet
delivery charges
Save all that hassle with
returns
And save your poor arms – you
don’t need to struggle with the
weight of a Christmas present for
every member of the family under
your arm before you get back
to your car or hotel! Car parking
is never far away – drop your
purchases off and start again,
or wait for another day – take
the stress away and shop to suit
yourself.
Come and visit – see for yourself
Even if you don’t live here, there are so many reasons to visit Orkney to do your Christmas
shopping – bear in mind that you can find special offers with a number of accommodation
providers in the run up to the festive season. You can enjoy easy access to the shops before
enjoying excellent, seasonal cuisine in a restful and cosy hotel. Or search out a guest house
or bed and breakfast for an informal break. Why not renew old acquaintances while you
are here? See the dedicated section for some of the hotel deals on offer, but you can also
contact Visit Orkney at www.visitorkney.com or the Orkney Tourism Group on
www.orkneytourism.co.uk for further details.
SO MUCH CHOICE AND MORE TIME TO ENJOY THE SEASON
Admit it! How many times last year did you find something on the internet, pay through the nose for delivery
and then find the same item in a shop locally? Or find that your gift wasn’t as nice as it was in the picture and
have to return it? How many times did you trudge busy city streets, stepping on toes and falling over buggies,
before returning, frazzled, to your hotel, saying never again?
All you could ever need to buy at Christmas can be found in Orkney. Make the most of the vast array of food,
drink and tasteful and thoughtful gifts which can be found on the main streets of the towns, around the county
and in the isles. Everything has been carefully chosen by experienced and hugely knowledgeable retailers to
suit all pockets and all needs. It’s all here for you to see, feel, touch, even taste before you buy.
Don’t miss out! It’s time to make the most of Orkney’s Christmas shopping and enjoy great
seasonal entertainment and activities with the Orkney Northern Lights Festival
