Hello

What's On in March 2016

Autumn is here everyone!  Although it's not that noticeable in the leaves as yet, you can feel the early mornings are just that little bit cooler and there was even a sneaky little frost in Earnscleugh last Wednesday morning.  The evenings are coming earlier from now on (sigh) and it's time for another blanket on the bed.

One great thing our golden autumn brings is some fantastic events to enjoy and this year is no exception.  There are arty workshops in Old Cromwell which I'm told are almost full.  Two of our Central artists (both named Marion) have an exhibition called ‘The Museum of very small things' at the Art Centre in Queenstown.  I'm sure it will be well worth a look so check their listing below.  And there's even Opera at Millers Flat.  The Little Box of Operas is bringing culture to the countryside and presenting 'Dido and Aeneas' in a beautiful private garden there.  With Easter falling in March this year, the Clyde Wine and Foods Festival is promising to offer lots of fun and good times.  This annual Clyde event has a lovely atmosphere with lots of happy people, chilled music, art in the Masonic Lodge and a vast selection of delicious local fare to consume.

Check out all that is on offer below and whatever you do, have the best time doing it!
