Spring Is On The Way

We know this to be true because the annual Tain Daffodil is just around the corner.

 

On the 12th April 2025  the St Duthac Book and Arts Festival volunteers will be supporting the Tain Daffodil Tea in aid of Marie Curie.

 

Pop-along to our stall to pick up a book bargain. We don't have fixed prices, just make a donation which will go back into bringing another fantastic festival in and around the Easter Ross Peninsula from the 9th - 14th September 2025.

Tain Community Market - Under New Management!

The St Duthac Book and Arts Festival Group are going to be at the 2025 community markets.

 

This year the markets will be run by Tain Community Council and Tain Gala, who will be raising funds for future community events.

 

Our first outing will be on Saturday 19th April 2025 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Save The Date ...

We can hardly believe it's been almost a year since our last AGM. Please do come along to meet the volunteer committee, hear the reports from office bearers and have a cuppa and a chat.

​

We'd love to meet you. 

Meet the 2025 Team 

We are delighted to welcome a new member to our merry little band of volunteers.

 

We co-opted Peter Newman to the team. Peter reached out to be a part of the volunteer group and we jumped at the chance to welcome him to the team.

Entertained, Amused & Enthralled...

On Saturday the 8th March 2025 the St Duthac Book and Arts Festival group welcomed author Neil Lancaster to our celebration of St Duthac Day.

 

Chairperson Frances Wood welcomed the author to a packed house who were entertained, amused and enthralled by Neil Lancaster who is a mystery fiction author based in the Highlands and is best known for the “DS Max Craigie” and the “Tom Novak” series of novels. 

​

A super cool raffle followed, there were preloved books up for grabs and teas were enjoyed by all.
