Event Details
Start your day with an unforgettable early morning walk through RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond. As dawn breaks, watch thousands of geese take flight from their overnight roosts on the loch and from surrounding areas, as they fly off to their daytime feeding spots. We’ll guide you to a viewpoint at the shore of Loch Lomond, where you can immerse yourself in the early morning wildlife spectacles.
This walk is approximately 2.5 km each way offering opportunities to connect with nature and capture stunning moments along the way. It will be dark on the way down to the loch shore. We recommend wellingtons or sturdy walking boots and don’t forget to dress warmly! The crisp morning air by the loch can be very chilly. The exact meeting time and location will be shared via email to those booked, closer to the event.

Andrew Barr: How to Map a Country 25th September, 2025 at 7:30pm
Writer and artist Andrew Redmond Barr presents The Atlas of Scotland, a creative project that uses hand drawn maps and illustrations to tell Scotland’s story, inviting us to reconnect with where we came from. The Atlas explores in detail how Scotland was made, its history, culture and its long standing as one of the ancient kingdoms of Europe. Taking you far beyond Scotland, it also delves into old European trade routes of Scottish merchants, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition and much more.

Louis Hall: Horseback in the Ligurian Alps 23rd October, 2025 at 7:30pm
Louis Hall is a writer, rider and explorer from Fife. In 2022 he and his Arabian horse, Sasha, set off from Siena, Italy heading West. What was intended to be a charity journey to the Atlantic Ocean, destination Cape Finisterre, became the challenge of a lifetime with the crossing of the Ligurian Alps as the defining moment of this ambitious trek to ‘the end of the land.’ Battling snowstorms, injury, untamed trails, wolves and freezing cold the journey pushed Louis and his horse to their limits. Louis shares this story in his debut book In Green, an awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit and the deep bond between man, horse, and nature.

A WEEKEND STORYTELLING WORKSHOP in Kilcreggan & Cove:
Begin the New Year with an exciting storytelling workshop: “What Stories Are You?”
A workshop on how stories can root us in place and identity. We will explore the stories that have meaning to us and the places we live or have lived. How do we gather them, how do we weave them into our identity, how do we make them an inheritance for ourselves and others?
No storytelling experience required – all welcome!
It will be led by storyteller TIM PORTEUS, who I regard as one of the finest storytellers in Scotland today.
Tim is a storyteller, completely unassuming but with decades of storytelling experience. He’s a dad of five children (three grown up now.) He has used storytelling within his family & as a way to build community connections. He has worked extensively in schools, using storytelling to promote well-being and literacy. For the past 14 years he’s written a weekly column called ‘Tim’s Tales’ in his local newspaper The East Lothian Courier. He has published three books on local folktales for both adults and children.
Although he’s a professional storyteller he doesn’t see his storytelling as just a profession, but a way of living life.
Dates: 31st January & 1st February (Saturday & Sunday)
Time: 10.30am – 1.30pm
Venue: Cove Burgh Hall
Cost: £20 for both days including tea, coffee & snacks

Return of the Light – Deep Rest Yoga Workshop for Imbolc
Join Kerry McKay for this special yoga workshop to mark the return of the light in the new year. Imbolc is the Celtic festival that marks the first quiet signs of spring – the moment when the light begins to return and the inner flame starts to wake. In this workshop, we will honour that transition with rest, awareness and gentle renewal.
We’ll begin with a cup of tea and connection, then move into gentle movement to release tension from the body. From there, we settle into supported Restorative yoga poses – floor-based, spacious and grounding – before closing with a Yoga Nidra guided relaxation designed to invite light back into the breath, heart and body.
The practice is slow, held and spacious. A chance to let go of winter heaviness and open to what wants to grow in you as the year rebirths. Suitable for all, as long as you’re comfortable lying on the floor with plenty of supports.
Date: Sunday 1 February 2026 Time: 2:45 PM – 4:30 PM Location: Templeton Annex, Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre, G84 7PG Price: £23

2 Workshops with artist Emma Henderson:
7 February 10am-2pm Natural Inks & Screen Printing Workshop. In this experimental, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to turn natural materials into colour and transform them into inks for printmaking. Focusing on screen printing on paper, we’ll use simple stencils to print and layer colour, exploring the unique possibilities of natural inks. You’ll also experiment with natural modifiers that alter the pH of the inks, shifting hues and expanding the colour palette in unexpected and exciting ways. This workshop places an emphasis on exploration and process rather than finished outcomes. Working with natural materials encourages more circular, resourceful, and intuitive ways of making. While you may not leave with a gallery-ready artwork, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to continue developing your experiments in your own time. £65, Book Online at https://www.emmahenderson.studio/collections/workshops/products/screen-printing-with-natural-dyes-7-february
7 March 10am-2pm Mordant Printing with natural colour Natural dyeing and printmaking come together in this in-depth, hands-on introduction to mordant printing using natural materials. A mordant is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fix natural dyes to cloth. In this workshop, you’ll work with two different types of mordant, applying them to fabric using blocks, stencils, brushes, and silk screen techniques. Once the cloth is immersed in the dye bath, your printed designs will be revealed through subtle shifts in colour and pattern. The session begins with a detailed introduction to natural dyeing and mordanting, followed by a practical demonstration on mixing and preparing mordant pastes. You’ll then have time to experiment, choosing from a range of techniques to print your own designs onto cloth. We’ll also cover the wider dyeing process, including preparing fabric for dyeing and setting up dye pots. While the cloth is in the dye bath, we’ll take a guided walk around the site to identify local dye plants and discuss how they can be used in future dyeing experiments. This offers a chance to deepen your understanding of natural colour beyond the workshop itself. £65, Book Online at https://www.emmahenderson.studio/collections/workshops/products/mordant-printing-with-natural-dyes-saturday-7-march

Helensburgh Music Society presents a series of 5 concerts each year, between October and March, in the form of performances by Professional Ensembles or Solo Recitals. Our concerts, in the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Clyde Street, Helensburgh, are open to everyone. An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.

Venue Change to Hermitage Academy
Water cooler moments, scheming co-workers and the leaving do that some would like to forget! The Office Party is a perfect opportunity to hear extracts from operas that may be new to you, against a backdrop of 1980s nostalgia that may be all too familiar…
We’re taking opera out of the opera house and into halls across Scotland in an intimate, immediate and relatable production in Spring 2026. Four talented singers, including 2025/26 Emerging Artists Daniel Barrett and Kira Kaplan, form the cast of colleagues navigating workplace dynamics and office politics, bringing recognisable workplace scenarios to the stage.
The Office Party celebrates under-rated and lesser-known pieces of music from Die Fledermaus, Pagliacci, Romeo and Juliet and more, including the world’s shortest one-act opera, Barber’s A Hand of Bridge. Audiences can expect laughter and office hi-jinks alongside emotive and tender moments, brought together through clever staging and set design by director Emma Doherty (The Giant’s Harp 2025) and designer Kenneth MacLeod (Opera Highlights Spring 2025)
So clear your in-tray, unplug the desk phone, and book now for an office party with a difference this Spring. The perfect chance to try something new

Opera On Your Doorstep: The Office Party is supported by Friends of Scottish Opera and JTH Charitable Trust. Part of Scottish Opera’s 2025/26 Season.

2 Workshops with artist Emma Henderson:
7 February 10am-2pm Natural Inks & Screen Printing Workshop. In this experimental, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to turn natural materials into colour and transform them into inks for printmaking. Focusing on screen printing on paper, we’ll use simple stencils to print and layer colour, exploring the unique possibilities of natural inks. You’ll also experiment with natural modifiers that alter the pH of the inks, shifting hues and expanding the colour palette in unexpected and exciting ways. This workshop places an emphasis on exploration and process rather than finished outcomes. Working with natural materials encourages more circular, resourceful, and intuitive ways of making. While you may not leave with a gallery-ready artwork, you will gain the knowledge and confidence to continue developing your experiments in your own time. £65, Book Online at https://www.emmahenderson.studio/collections/workshops/products/screen-printing-with-natural-dyes-7-february
7 March 10am-2pm Mordant Printing with natural colour Natural dyeing and printmaking come together in this in-depth, hands-on introduction to mordant printing using natural materials. A mordant is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fix natural dyes to cloth. In this workshop, you’ll work with two different types of mordant, applying them to fabric using blocks, stencils, brushes, and silk screen techniques. Once the cloth is immersed in the dye bath, your printed designs will be revealed through subtle shifts in colour and pattern. The session begins with a detailed introduction to natural dyeing and mordanting, followed by a practical demonstration on mixing and preparing mordant pastes. You’ll then have time to experiment, choosing from a range of techniques to print your own designs onto cloth. We’ll also cover the wider dyeing process, including preparing fabric for dyeing and setting up dye pots. While the cloth is in the dye bath, we’ll take a guided walk around the site to identify local dye plants and discuss how they can be used in future dyeing experiments. This offers a chance to deepen your understanding of natural colour beyond the workshop itself. £65, Book Online at https://www.emmahenderson.studio/collections/workshops/products/mordant-printing-with-natural-dyes-saturday-7-march

Writer and artist Andrew Redmond Barr presents The Atlas of Scotland, a creative project that uses hand drawn maps and illustrations to tell Scotland’s story, inviting us to reconnect with where we came from. The Atlas explores in detail how Scotland was made, its history, culture and its long standing as one of the ancient kingdoms of Europe. Taking you far beyond Scotland, it also delves into old European trade routes of Scottish merchants, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition and much more.

Louis Hall: Horseback in the Ligurian Alps 23rd October, 2025 at 7:30pm
Louis Hall is a writer, rider and explorer from Fife. In 2022 he and his Arabian horse, Sasha, set off from Siena, Italy heading West. What was intended to be a charity journey to the Atlantic Ocean, destination Cape Finisterre, became the challenge of a lifetime with the crossing of the Ligurian Alps as the defining moment of this ambitious trek to ‘the end of the land.’ Battling snowstorms, injury, untamed trails, wolves and freezing cold the journey pushed Louis and his horse to their limits. Louis shares this story in his debut book In Green, an awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit and the deep bond between man, horse, and nature.

Helensburgh Music Society presents a series of 5 concerts each year, between October and March, in the form of performances by Professional Ensembles or Solo Recitals. Our concerts, in the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Clyde Street, Helensburgh, are open to everyone. An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.

Andrew Barr: How to Map a Country 25th September, 2025 at 7:30pm
Writer and artist Andrew Redmond Barr presents The Atlas of Scotland, a creative project that uses hand drawn maps and illustrations to tell Scotland’s story, inviting us to reconnect with where we came from. The Atlas explores in detail how Scotland was made, its history, culture and its long standing as one of the ancient kingdoms of Europe. Taking you far beyond Scotland, it also delves into old European trade routes of Scottish merchants, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition and much more.

Louis Hall: Horseback in the Ligurian Alps 23rd October, 2025 at 7:30pm
Louis Hall is a writer, rider and explorer from Fife. In 2022 he and his Arabian horse, Sasha, set off from Siena, Italy heading West. What was intended to be a charity journey to the Atlantic Ocean, destination Cape Finisterre, became the challenge of a lifetime with the crossing of the Ligurian Alps as the defining moment of this ambitious trek to ‘the end of the land.’ Battling snowstorms, injury, untamed trails, wolves and freezing cold the journey pushed Louis and his horse to their limits. Louis shares this story in his debut book In Green, an awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit and the deep bond between man, horse, and nature.

Luisa Hendry: The Geology of Scotland 27th November, 2025 at 7:30pm
Scotland offers some incredible landscapes, where the rocks reveal a complicated geological history; you can walk along a beach over lovely banded pink, grey and dark grey rocks that are up to three billion years old. Geologist Luisa spends her time sharing this world in an understandable way through social media platforms and her geology tour company. Her passion, enthusiasm and commitment to inspiring the next generation of engineers and geologists has had a significant impact within the geotechnical industry, and across wider communities.
