Hogmanay in Oban - Lagnakeil

It’s always one after the other around this time of year, and even though we’re currently inching our way towards Christmas, before you know it, you’ll blink and it will be over. Of course, it doesn’t all end there, because we still have Hogmanay to look forward to! No one quite knows how to celebrate New Year like the Scots, and Oban is no exception.

This year, the official Hogmanay in Oban event kicks off at 8pm with the winner of the Opportunity Knocks competition taking the stage, followed by a host of fantastic musicians. Throughout the night, there will be a lot of singing, dancing and of course, fireworks to bring in the New Year. It’s also free: So a great event for all the family.

For us, we always head to the Barn Bar at Hogmanay. Only a 10-15 minute walk from the Lagnakeil Lodges, this restored barn with original slate cattle stalls boasts live music, real ales and great home cooking. Not to mention, the atmosphere is electric! It’s no surprise that the Barn Bar has been featured in the likes of “Scotland’s Best Kept Secrets”, “Scotland the Best” and the Herald Newspaper’s “Good Pub Grub” guide, to name a few. Cosy up next to the log fire, choose from their extensive range of whisky, listen to some great music and soak up the atmosphere. What’s better? Only a short walk away, you don’t have to worry about having an extra dram for the road.

Choose from one of our lodges for the perfect way to bring in the bells – whether it’s a big group, a small family gathering or even a romantic getaway, we have a range of different sizes to suit you.
