Dornoch Castle Hotel is turning the last night of October into a small food festival. Folktober Fest brings street food from around the world, each dish made with Scottish produce, so you might find haggis bhajis alongside bites cooked with local game. One ticket gets you a taste of every dish, and you can add a cocktail or another drink to go with each one. Scottish folk tunes and traditional world music play right through the evening. The hotel is on Castle Street in Dornoch. It runs from 6pm to 9pm on Saturday 31 October, and tickets are booked through the This is Dornoch events page.
