This collaboration will see Anchor managing the ticketing operations for one of the Highland’s newest visitor attractions when it opens in 2025. With this partnership, Anchor will bring its state-of-the-art ticketing platform to the attraction, enhancing the experience for every visitor.

Michael Golding, Chair of the High Life Highland Board of Directors said, "We are thrilled to announce that Anchor has been selected to design, implement, and manage the ticketing system for the Inverness Castle Experience. Their innovative approach and proven expertise will ensure a seamless and enriching visitor experience as we bring this attraction to life."

Nasi Peretz, President & Chief Technology Officer of Anchor said, “We’re delighted to join forces with High Life Highland at the Inverness Castle Experience.  Our goal is to provide a seamless and efficient ticketing experience for all visitors. We look forward to working closely with the team at the new visitor attraction over the next five years.”

When it opens in 2025, the Inverness Castle Experience, celebrating the Spirit of the Highlands, is expected to encourage both locals and visitors to the area to visit the castle. Anchor and the project team are committed to creating a ticketing system that will enhance the customer journey from the moment they consider visiting the castle.

The Inverness Castle Experience project, opening in 2025, will benefit from £30m investment to support its redevelopment from the Scottish and UK Governments, The Highland Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and a range of other partners.

The Inverness Castle Experience project is part of the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal, which is a joint initiative supported by up to £315m investment from the UK and Scottish governments, The Highland Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and University of the Highlands and Islands, aimed at stimulating sustainable regional economic growth.
