Checkout Scotland is back!

Checkout Festival

GroceryAid Scotland’s unique and exclusive music event returns in September and is set to be another spectacular highlight of the Scottish local retailing calendar.


Checkout Scotland is back for 2024 with another spectacular event that will help make some noise for the fantastic Scottish convenience and grocery retailing sector.

Organised by the Scottish committee of industry charity GroceryAid, the unique festival of music and fun that is Checkout Scotland returns once more on 5 September at Barras Art And Design (BaaD), with up to 1,000 industry colleagues expected to attend.

Checkout Scotland will see local retailers, wholesalers, national supporters and home-grown brands come together to celebrate the work of Scotland’s convenience and grocery industry.

Whether you’re looking to showcase your brand, have a great night out with your team or support the work GroceryAid does in the Scottish grocery industry, Checkout Scotland is the place to be. The range of sponsorship packages suits all budgets and brands. Last year, headline sponsors included BrewDog, Irn Bru, One-O-One and Rockstar Energy.

“It has been truly phenomenal to be involved with Checkout Scotland from day one and see it go from strength to strength. The Scottish industry is a great place to work and this is the perfect event to bring us all together, spending some time with our customers and colleagues enjoying live music and just having a bit of a blether. But above all, raising both awareness and funds to provide support for those in our industry who need a helping hand” – Jonathan Kemp, Commercial Director, AG Barr

One company which attended Checkout Scotland for the first time last year was J. Chandler & Co, Buckfast brand owner. National Account Manager Stephen Wilkes said: “Checkout is a brilliant event for Buckfast to be part of. It allows us to showcase our product in different ways and highlight the versatility of the brand.

“We’ll be back in 2024 and we have some NPD that launched in May. Checkout is the perfect event for us to exhibit these, in particular because the event is in Glasgow and that is very much our biggest market.

“We’ll be aiming to generate excitement for the NPD at Checkout as well as highlighting to as many people as possible how versatile Buckfast Tonic Wine is and that it can be used in many different ways.

“There’s nothing else like Checkout! It is targeted at convenience and grocery colleagues of all levels, which isn’t something you can say about other events. It’s a really down-to-earth event in one of the best music cities in the UK and is a must attend!”
