Live at the Loch is situated in and around the beautiful harbour of Tarbert in Argyll and Bute. For directions please visit www.liveattheloch.com/area 
The festival takes place in local pubs, restaurants and hotels and at our Main Stage which is situated on the harbour marina.
Note: We acknowledge that the harbour environment includes uneven ground and slopes, and we are transparent about this so attendees can make informed decisions.
