Admittance to our Doors Open Day is free! It's important to us that our event is as accessible as possible which is why there's no cost to enter and many of the activities on-site are also free.
While we don't charge visitors an entry fee, we strongly encourage donations on the day to our Charity of Choice, Age Scotland, who do incredible work across the country to support Scotland's older people.
Volunteers from Age Scotland will be in attendance with donation buckets and card machines to take contributions - please give what you can!
