Cream o’ the Croft: three Muckin' good family festivals rolled into one

Lovers of the outdoors, both on and off the bike, are in for a treat this summer, as Cream o’ the Croft Mountain Bike Festival, supported by EventScotland – part of VisitScotland’s Events Directorate, makes a much-anticipated return to Comrie Croft, Braincroft, Perthshire, the award-winning green tourism destination, mountain bike trail centre (and onsite bike shop), from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 June 2018. 

To celebrate the 2018 event programme a new and highly entertaining Cream o’ the Croft promotional video, filmed at the venue with the Beast from the East taking a lead role, has been released – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-B1zyZUAds.

Cream o’ the Croft – ‘Scotland’s Mountain Bike Festival’ - is not only a festival of mountain bike racing for all ages, it is also a music festival with camping and fun activities and a gourmet food and drink festival, all crammed into one unbelievable family-friendly entertainment weekend; and its all within an hour’s drive of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Perth.

Aaron Gray of Muckmedden Events, organisers of Cream o’ the Croft, added:  “It’s not easy to showcase an action-packed, three-day summer family bike festival while it’s snowing and the Beast from the East is trying to blow you off the hillside.

“However, I think we have done a great job in highlighting the best of Cream o’ the Croft, a weekend festival of fun and frolics for all the family both on and off the bike.  It is based largely around the four great tenets of mountain biking, the great outdoors, music and ‘consumption of deliciousness’.  Add in to the mix an award-winning campsite, hostel and mountain bike trail centre, beautiful surroundings, family friendliness and great activities for all ages, and you get the rough idea of what to expect.”
