Virtual Tamfest – For this year only Tamfest is going online and direct to your home!!
We’ve been closely monitoring this unprecedented situation and Government guidelines and it’s become clear that it just isn’t possible for the 2020 festival to go ahead. The health and safety of the Tamfest performers, suppliers, staff and audience is paramount and we have to put that first above all. This decision hasn’t been taken lightly and we are very disappointed, we extend our apologies to all of you.
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS FOR YOU…
We are delighted to announce Scottish wrestler and actor Grado for Virtual Tamfest!! Grado will be performing a hilarious version of Tam o’ Shanter that is not be missed!
We didn’t want you to miss out on Halloween this year so grab your broomsticks, pumpkins and capes as we are going to bring you a TAMFEST VIRTUAL FESTIVAL direct to your living rooms! We will be working in partnership with South Ayrshire Council, who are kindly sponsoring the festival. More details to follow soon!
Please be rest assured we will be back next year. We will do our very best to put together an amazing festival for you in 2021! Thank you as ever, for your continued support.
Please welcome one of Scotland’s most loved actresses Jane McCarry (Isa – Still Game) to Virtual Tamfest!!

What is your favorite part of Halloween - I love the the dressing up part! It's always fun to get creative with make up and costume!
Is there anything you are superstitious about - yes I don't like Friday the 13th!!
What was your favourite Halloween costume that you wore - most years I've dressed up as the corpse bride! I have a huge vintage wedding dress I bought from a charity shop for £30 I'm weirdly in love with that costume.
What is your favourite scary film - ooo I love scary films, so I've seen many but it would have to be the insidious films.
Would you rather walk through a graveyard at midnight or spend the night in a spooky abandoned house - id rather spend the night in an abandoned house!
Are you looking forward to performing at Virtual Tamfest - yes very much! Delighted that I'm taking part! I'm looking forward to performing some Halloween themed songs!
