After the roaring success of last year, we are so excited to be bringing back the ‘Gather Inn’, our Friday night pub night in the tipi. A space for you to unwind on a Friday evening and kick off your weekend in the right way, we’ll even have cold frothy draft beer on rotation by the brilliant organic Black Isle Brewery!


The tipi has always been the perfect space for gathering and enjoying a drink around the fire, but to top it off we will be joined (most Fridays) by ‘Highland Slice’ serving up tasty pizzas from his gorgeous horsebox. We don’t take bookings for the Gather Inn, just turn up, we have plenty of seats inside and out, kids welcome until 8pm. However, if you want to order pizzas, you need to pre-order with Andrew from the Tuesday prior through his website but he does sell out quick (see web link).

Our ‘Gather Inn’ nights will run from the beginning of April to the end of October, minus the odd Friday where we have other events running . A friendly reminder that if you’re coming with kids, please keep them supervised at all times, particularly on the play area.

The Gather Inn will NOT be running on the following dates:
29th August
4th and 18th September
24th October
