One Day Event
Saturday, 11.00am - 4.00pm
This open day is for everyone! We want to show you the beauty of Blairmore and share with you a bit about the work we do here.
As we open our doors wide this is the perfect opportunity to come and have a look and learn more about Blairmore House, the special home of Ellel Ministries Scotland. Feel free to bring family & friends!
We’ll organise guided tours and let you have a look around the place and enjoy the premises which include not only a beautifully restored 19C building but also woodlands, a walled garden and grass lawns.
Our book and gift shop will be open, we’ll organise some lawn games, and there will be free teas, coffees and cakes to boot!
We will also be giving away some of our spare furniture and other unused items – please feel free to have a browse and see if there’s anything for you! We will have a choice of mattresses, chairs, side tables and much more. Everything will be free but donations are welcome.
The open day will run from 11AM – 4 PM and you can come and stay as long or short as you like. Feel free to bring your own packed lunch if you want to!
No booking is required for this event. We hope to see you there!
