What's On

What's on

There's loads to see and do in and around Oban - check out our Top 10. Plus there are always events on throughout the surrounding area: see below for a taster of what's on in the near future. We'll be more than happy to help you out if you want to find out more - just ask!

Although there aren't as many events and shows on during the winter months, there is still plenty to do; think of it as 'a change is as good as a rest'. By day, get some fresh air and take in the sea views walking around Oban. Treat yourselves to a cafe latte or hot chocolate at one of the town's cafes. Enjoy a superb value, leisurely lunch in one of the restaurants around the harbour. Take in Oban's pub nightlife - many have live music, ceilidh or karioke at the weekends. But most of all, just come to Oban, relax and have a great time - you'll always receive a warm welcome at Backpackers.
