Seachdain na Gàidhlig
World Gaelic Week
Seachdain na Gàidhlig is facilitated by Hands Up for Trad, Scottish Charity No 035 190.
Seachdain na Gàidhlig is a worldwide initiative, promoting Gaelic language and culture.
Established in 2022 and funded by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Seachdain na Gàidhlig (World Gaelic Week) celebrates Scottish Gaelic across the globe and raises the profile of Gaelic through community initiatives, schools’ engagement, and an exciting calendar of events.
Join us from 23 February – 1 March 2026 and celebrate 5 years since Seachdain na Gàidhlig started. From dances and talks to baking and walks, it promises to be a packed programme.
Anybody can take part or run their own event – the initiative offers opportunities for Gaelic speakers, and those without the language, to get involved in a way that suits them. Whether you are in Scotland or further afield – get in touch if you would like to discuss an idea.
There are lots of ways to get involved and celebrate our theme of Use It or Lose It (Cleachd i no caill i). Why not run your own event as part of Seachdain na Gàidhlig? If you’d like to add your event to the Seachdain na Gàidhlig programme, click below and fill in your information.
Register now for our free, daily, online sessions for Primary school children of all stages, delivered by broadcaster & presenter Joy Dunlop, featuring games, songs, stories and quizzes from 23 – 27 February 2026.
Discover more about our theme for 2026— Use It or Lose It (Cleachd i no caill i) —how you can get involved in running or attending events, what we do, and meet the team helping to bring the festival to life.
