Craignish Village Hall Christmas Arts & Crafts Market - Ardfern 6 - 7 November 2026 #craignishvillagehall #handmadeinargyll #whatsoninargyllandbute #markets #buylocalsupportlocal
Power cut on the Peninsula Unfortunately, the power is out across the peninsula, and it’s not expected back on until around 5pm on Monday 26 October. Craignish Village Hall will open Hall 2 tomorrow (Monday) from 10am to 2.30pm for anyone who needs it. We will have: - limited power for charging phones, laptops and other devices (sorry, not power stations) - a gas hob - a kettle for tea and coffee - space to sit or work The hall can stay open thanks to our solar PV and battery installation, backed up by a generator. It is part of the community resilience plan we are developing, so the hall can be a hub for everyone when the grid goes down. The backup power does not heat the halls, so please wear something warm. Please pass this on to any neighbours who might not see it. Thanks, Matt #CommunitySupport #CommunityResilience #SSEN

We are very excited to welcome DEISEIL to Cvh for a performance on 13th November followed by workshops for fiddle and step dance the following day. The Scotsman ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Susan Mansfield “Deiseil is more about showing than telling, and it feels like the warm, playful collaboration of Carlyle and Geddes embodies the spirit of stepdance. This is the most joyful show I’ve seen so far this Fringe. It tells an important story with the lightest of touches and doesn’t put a foot wrong. ”Visit www.craignish.org.uk for tickets and all the info #deiseil #craignishvillagehall

Did you know we have an electric vehicle charger in the hall car park? And, it’s open to everyone, not just hall users. It's ideal if you're coming to a class or event: plug in on arrival and leave with some extra miles. If you live nearby and don't have a driveway, or are visiting Ardfern, it's also a handy spot to charge. Charging is fast, as it is a 40 kW fast charger with dual outlets, so two vehicles can charge side by side. Every charge helps support the hall, so please use it and tell anyone you know with an EV. You can also find us on Zap-Map.
We are very excited to welcome DEISEIL (Sounds like jay-shal) to our hall in November - They will be performing their Fiddle and Stepdance show as well as offering a combined Fiddle and Stepdance Workshop. Deiseil: Dancing in Time is a powerful exploration of how stepdance, Scotland’s percussive dance, was lost… and how its revival became woven into a lifelong friendship. Experience a compelling journey across centuries of tradition told through fiddle, feet, Gaelic song and story, in an immersive performance which draws you in to the heart of our heritage. Directed by multiple award winning director Gerry Mulgrew (founder of Communicado Theatre Company), performed by dancer Alison Carlyle and musician Amy Geddes, and devised by Alison, Amy and Gerry. Deiseil means “ready” in Scottish Gaelic : be ready for a mesmerising reflection on how issues of culture, identity and connection still resonate through society today. Workshops Deiseil: Dancing in Time offers the perfect opportunity for us to spend meaningful time in communities, connecting them with this tradition. We don’t just perform the show, we also teach workshops, engage with community organisations and settings and provide creative and mentoring opportunities for local artists. #craignishvillagehall #deiseil
