The National Trust for Scotland’s Arduaine Garden near Oban will host a series of garden and craft related activities on Sunday 1 August at a special event to include stalls from local traders and artists.
Visitors will be able to watch and participate in everything from basket and hand loom weaving to painting. There will also be a plant stall and a selection of handmade items for sale - perfect for a gift or treat.
There will be more than just crafts at the event, however. A number of local wildlife professionals will give demonstrations, face painting and a treasure trail will be put on for children and the Chartroom II Ceilidh Band will top everything off with a spot of live music.
Property Manager Maurice Wilkins said:
“We’re looking forward to hosting this Summer Festival at Arduaine – we want our visitors to see this wonderful local garden out of season as well as to enjoy the stalls and other activities.”
The event will run from 12:30 to 16:00. Normal garden entry charges apply, and most activities in the event will be free. There may, however, be a small charge for some.
A fine garden near the sea, Arduaine boasts a vast variety of plants that grow well along the Argyll coast. With stunning wildlife and sea views, the garden is a source of delight and inspiration to all who visit.
