Our resident tutor Angus Grant will teach you a simple clay technique to make a finely finished and functional piece of pottery.

You will also decorate your handmade quaich with textures and patterns.

Pieces will be glazed and fired by Angus after the class. Items can be collected in person from the studio or posted to you (postage must be paid on the day of the workshop.)

We are very excited to welcome back Will Hamer of Wild Kabn Kitchen for the first instalment of our 2025 supper club series. Will’s unique and wonderful open fire style of cooking allows you to explore the connection between food, fire and nature in the beautiful surroundings of the ancient pine forest here at The Dell. They will be offering up a beautifully curated 5 course meal cooked over the fire which celebrates local Scottish produce, in particular venison from right here in the Abernethy forest. The bar will be run by ourselves with a wide selection of soft drink, beers, wines and a cocktail or two for good measure. For more information and to book a place, please do get in touch

Join us in the tipi for an intimate evening of song and merriment with the gorgeous pairing of Rachel Sermanni and Louis Abbott, dear old friends of The Dell. We really can’t wait to have them back and for them to kick off the first of our ‘In the Woods’ gigs for 2025.

Rachel Sermanni, originally from just along the road in Carrbridge, is a renowned writer, musician and artist who has been gracing the Sottish folk scene with her stunning vocals and poetic song writing skills since 2011. Add in to the mix the unique and captivating voice of Louis Abbott of Glasgow based band Admiral Fallow, along with his witty banter and crowd pleasing chat, and we have ourselves a beautiful night of music and laughter in the tipi. Rachel and Louis are no strangers to performing together and with their wonderful chemistry and mesmerising voices that complement each other so beautifully, you will definitely be left wanting more.

Doors and bar opens at 7pm with music starting at 8pm, we look forward to seeing you here!

We look forward to welcoming you to our annual Easter Sunday morning short Church Service on the shores of Loch Garten to greet and praise our Risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Parking is available in the Loch Mallachie Carpark

Get involved in a free family-friendly crafting project to build a large tabletop model of a remote landscape in the Cairngorms during the Easter holidays!

We’re bringing the landscape to us! Join us in creating a collaborative 3D cardboard contour model of Loch A’an, a remote and difficult to access place deep in the Cairngorms Connect landscape. Through cutting, glueing and layering cardboard, an accurate topographical replica becomes something we can touch, imagine and learn about.

Drop-in anytime to one of five sessions we’re running during the Easter holidays. Get involved, create cardboard creatures and invent your own little landscapes too! All materials are provided.

Accessibility: Accessible for all abilities, knowledges and experiences of crafting and the Cairngorms. Toilets, car-parking and wheelchair access available at all venues. Please contact Cairngorms Connect with any questions: robbie.synge@cairngormsconnect.org.uk
