With last year’s Dell Market being such a huge success, we just can’t wait for the next one. Another chance to bring together the wonderful assortment of crafters, artists and food and drink producers from our local area. Here at The Dell we aspire to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible and so we have put together a group of like minded traders to showcase their fantastic products. There will be a little bit of something for everyone. As well as bagging a beauty and being inspired by the creativity around you, you can hang out under the trees listening to live music, watch demonstrations from local green woodworkers and fill up your bellies on food and drink. Supporting local business owners has never been so important, so we hope you can join us and spread the word.

Join Curlew LIFE and RSPB Scotland for an evening of fascinating talks, nature-inspired arts and crafts, musical tunes and poetry readings to celebrate waders as they return to Strathspey and Badenoch to breed.

Local artists and musicians will focus on the inspiration and joy waders bring to our creative minds, and everybody is welcome to join in!

Strathspey and Badenoch is currently a hotspot for these ground nesting birds, but even here their future is not secured. This evening will also be the perfect opportunity to learn more about the threats these birds face in our area and what Curlew LIFE is doing to secure the future of Curlews.

Complementary welcome drink and appetisers with wader arts and crafts. (Boathouse restaurant)
7pm – 7.30pm:

Over the last year, artists Elizabeth Reeder and Amanda Thomson have been working with local communities and Cairngorms Connect to create a Commonplace Book for the Cairngorms.

With over 50 submissions, including photography, drawings and writing, the final collection captures a snapshot of our lives in this landscape.

Join us at the Spey Bank Studio for an event to celebrate the project, view the submissions and get involved in weaving the Kist which will hold them, with expert guidance from willow weaver Helen Jackson.
