About this Event

Participating children will take part in a variety of workshops throughout the day (11:00 - 3:20pm). This taster sessions will include Tin Whistle, Celtic Harp (Clàrsach), Fiddle, Gaelic Singing and Drama / Games. These workshops will be suitable for children with no prior experience (as well as those who come with a bit of musical skill!) The sessions will be delivered in Gaelic as far as possible and will be most suitable for children in Gaelic Medium Education. Non-Gaelic speaking children are also very welcome to attend and will be supported in following instructions (and having fun whilst learning a new language!).

Registration will be at10:45am.

Each session will last 45 minutes (with the exception of Clàrsach and Fiddle, for which the group will be split in half for 20minutes of each instrument).

Children should come prepared with a packed lunch. Lunch will be at 12:55pm - 1:40pm.

There will be no more than 10 children in this P1-4 group and they will be accompanied by an adult (Anna Wilson) throughout the duration of the day, who will be introduced to them during registration. Parents/carers are welcome to stay on Campus if they wish, but will not be able to attend the workshops with their children (though they could attend the adult workshops if they get a ticket!). There is a cafe area in the main entranceway for anyone choosing to hang around, though parents/carers are welcome to leave (as long as we can contact you via mobile to return if needed).

After the workshops, families are invited to attend a coffee afternoon at Forfar Guide Centre (4mins away via car at Myre Car Park, Forfar, DD8 1AZ). There will be no entrance fee or set prices for a cuppy and cake but donations will be welcome to help fund this event (with any surplus going towards future Gaelic events for families). Anyone who attended workshops (and those who order in Gaelic!) can get their refreshment for free! We hope to have some music (and maybe a bit of a singalong?!) while we are there. Donations of baking would be most appreciated for this event and can be dropped of during registration, or at the coffee afternoon.

This event has been made possible with funding from Bòrd na Gàidhlig. It has been organised by Comann nam Pàrant Aonghais (Angus's Gaelic Parent Association) and Comhairle Aonghais (Angus Council), with support from Fèisean nan Gàidheal.
