Gaelic Residential Weekend – Fairburn – May 2025

Open to Gaelic speakers in P7- S4, the weekend will consist of a variety of workshops, led by a fantastic team of experienced tutors.

There will be workshops in Gaelic Songs, Music and Group Work led by Deirdre Graham and Angus MacKenzie, Camera Skills and Video Making delivered by Calum MacLean, as well as orienteering and other outdoor activities organised by Spòrs Gàidhlig. Participants will also have free time and evening social activities.

The weekend will run from 5pm on Friday 16th May until 4.45pm on Sunday 18th May 2025. It is a fantastic opportunity for young people to spend a weekend immersed in Gaelic, with the chance to make new friends as well as learn different skills and to film and record and music video together.

We are grateful to Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Astar for financial support towards this event which allows us to make this event ‘Pay what you can’, meaning families are able to pay what they can afford.

On the booking site, you will see four payment options, starting with “I can’t pay anything and would like to get a free place.” If you can pay more, then you have options to pay £25, £50, £75, £100 or £125.

£125 represents the cost of accommodation and food (excluding workshops and evening activities). We want every child to be able to take advantage of this opportunity, so please choose the payment option that suits you. The weekend can also be paid for in instalments. If you would like to pay this way, please contact Lorraine.
