GroceryAid Scotland’s fantastic Checkout music festival is back later this year, so you should make sure you’ve booked your tickets in plenty of time.
Checkout Scotland, the outstanding charity music festival organised by the Scottish Committee of industry charity GroceryAid, is set to be a highlight of the industry calendar this year – so it’s time to make sure you get your tickets sorted.
In the wake of last year’s massively successful launch, the event is back in August and it’s set to be even bigger and even better.
Checkout Scotland will take place on 31 August 2023 and gives you the perfect opportunity to gather with industry colleagues, enjoying a brilliant day out and, critically, help support the many people in this industry who have fallen on hard times or face difficult challenges.
The effects of Covid have made the free, confidential support services that GroceryAid provides more vital than ever. Unfortunately, demand for practical, financial and emotional support has never been higher in the charity’s 166-year history. In the last year alone GroceryAid has given out £434,000 in grants in Scotland.

Peter Steel, Joint Chairman of the GroceryAid Scotland Committee, told SLR: “We know that there are many industry colleagues in Scotland who need a little help and GroceryAid is there for them 24/7. The charity can offer emotional, practical or financial help and all completely free and entirely confidential. Checkout Scotland is a brilliant vehicle to help us spread the word about how GroceryAid can help and make sure that everyone in our industry knows that they have somewhere to turn in times of need.
“We would urge local retailers in Scotland to grab some tickets, come along with some guests, show their support and, of course, have a cracking day out.”
Tickets cost just £75 and are available now.
There is also a range of sponsorship packages available. All funds raised from the event will go towards helping colleagues in need with emotional, practical and financial support from GroceryAid.
