What’s On

On Friday morning it’s Play.Ground for families to come and have fun in the woods and garden. Then pop-in to Coorie Cafe on Saturday to volunteer for Gardening for the Future, sing for wellbeing at Connecting Voices and try out a role-playing table-top game at Solarpunk Futures.

Spring/Summer 26 Programme

Booking is now open for our spring/summer term of classes and workshops. We have a new dedicated Wheel Throwing course on Mondays with Sean Kingsley, plus oil painting, pottery, stained glass, printmaking, fine art, upholstery, basketry and more. There’s also a range of weekend workshops focusing on the theme of Make, Do & Learn. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, give us a call to discuss.

Lughnasadh Art & Music Festival now on sale!

Our popular summer festival is back, in partnership with our pals at Big Rock Records. Alongside a stellar line-up of Scottish musicians on the main stage, we’ll have a fun, family art programme, and delicious food and drinks from local suppliers.

Gardening for the Future

Every 1st and 3rd Saturday we host an open volunteer meet-up in the gardens at the centre. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary. The meet-up is led by gardener, grower, and environmentalist Dr Helena Simmons who will support people to get involved.

The activities include building raised beds, learning about ‘no-dig’ growing, planting vegetable and flowers, harvesting, and the never ending weeding and pruning to keep the gardens tidy. All activities relate to the sustainability, improving biodiversity, and tackling the climate emergency.

Coorie Community Café

Every 1st and 3rd Saturday enjoy the Coorie Community Café, a creative space in which to spend time at Forgan Arts Centre. There’s always tea in the pot, coffee brewing, juice and snacks, all free of charge.

Each week centre staff organise art and craft activities, or you’re welcome to bring your own project. The cafe is for people of all ages and is an opportunity to explore the grounds and gardens and meet new people.
