Dornoch’s Microclimate

Scotland is well known across the world for it's RAIN! But did you know that Dornoch and the area around the Moray coast has the same level of rainfall as the South East of England?!

As most of Scotland's wind and wild weather comes from the Atlantic on the South West Coast, we are pretty sheltered by the hills and mountains between.

The East coast is also blessed with plenty of sunshine (and many more hours of light in the Summertime than anywhere else in the UK!) and very few midgies too which is another big bonus.

So come and enjoy some beautiful weather this Spring or Summer and stay with us in Dornoch

Dornoch Fibre Fest 2020

Happy 10th anniversary to Fibre Fest!

Fibre Fest takes place this year from the 13th to 15th of March

This exciting event, held in mid-March each year, has become a favourite in the Dornoch Calendar and is an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in all things fibre. Fibre Fest, run by an enthusiastic group of local fibre artists, has now been running for 11 years now and this fantastic festival takes place across Dornoch in both the Social Club and West Church Hall.

Sewing, quilting, knitting and feltmaking; all these feature either as Masterclasses or drop-in demonstrations where you can try new skills. And of course it provides a great opportunity to browse the market area where you can buy those essential additions absolutely necessary to any serious fibre worker’s stash.

The Stash Buster is a great way to declutter your stash of crafting materials (Fabric, wool, haberdashery & equipment) at the stall in the Dornoch Social Club over the weekend. Turn your excess into cash whilst supporting the ongoing success of Fibre Fest (10% of each sale goes to DADCA). Download a form and complete before entering your materials.

Friday 13th March 6.30pm
Opening Talk at St Finnbarr’s Church. £5 entry includes super.
Stitch without Borders: Sashiko goes global' by Susan Briscoe.
The talk will be followed by a soup and cheese supper in the Dornoch Social Club

Saturday & Sunday 14th & 15th March 9.30am-4pm
All weekend there will be demonstrations to take part in exhibitions and sales tables to browse and plenty of delicious refreshments to enjoy.
