Hill to Grill: celebrating local forests and local food
Advertisement
Hill to Grill is back! We're excited to welcome you to Cairngorms Connect's free outdoor festival celebrating local forests and local food.
We've got a whole host of exciting activities planned for people of all ages and abilities, from woodworking to cooking demonstrations.
🦌 Learn about the importance of Deer management to restore local forests while enjoying a free BBQ with wild Cairngorms Connect Venison and other local, foraged, and gathered produce.
🥩 Meet a local butcher who will teach us about preparing different cuts of venison and what they are best used for.
🍽️ Discover new ways to incorporate local food into your everyday meals with simple and inspiring cooking demonstrations from Scottish food expert Catriona Frankitti.
🌳 Explore nearby Dell Woods on a guided walk with woodland and wildlife experts from NatureScot and learn more about how our local forests are managed to provide benefits for people and nature.
✨ Immerse yourself in the folklore and stories of the forest with Sarah from Strathspey Storywalks.
🎨 Join in with family-friendly games and activities throughout the day.
Hill to Grill is completely free but why not click ‘Going’ so we can make sure we have enough burgers for everyone! Due to increased popularity, some elements of the event will require booking in advance - there will still be lots of drop-in activities on the day too. More info coming soon!

Hill to Grill is a largely outdoor event, mostly taking place in tents and on the Playing Field behind Nethy Community Centre, so please dress appropriately, and prepare for all weathers.
The event area is accessible for wheelchair users and buggies, but the grassy ground could be a little rough in places so please take care.
