The magic of Eden Court's Under Canvas will return in 2023.

Eden Court in Inverness has unveiled the line-up for its keenly- anticipated Under Canvas season which kicks off on July 1 – with a mix of top flight music, including a Belladrum takeover.

The multi-award-winning festival will see 42 days of live music, performances and DJ sets in iconic tents on the venue’s lawn, all served with wood-fired pizzas and the best in local beers, gin and whisky.

Rebecca Holt, who recently took over as chief executive at Eden Court, said: “As someone who will be experiencing Under Canvas for the first time, it’s been incredibly exciting to see it take shape out on Eden Court’s lawn over the last few weeks.

“The tent is up and the festoons are hung. The bar and pizza shack have been lovingly assembled. And we have an incredible line-up of music planned.”
