Demijohn's Big Spring Weekend at Glenlair Steading will take place from Sat 24th to Mon 26th May 2025 this year.
Now in its second year, our Big Spring Weekend is set to be bigger and better, with more exhibiting artists and activities than in 2024.
This popular event is free to attend and is a celebration of fine art, as part of our local Spring Fling Open Studios Event, and the very best of local food and drink.
When will be held?
Our May Bank Holiday event will run daily between 10am to 5.30pm from Sat 24th to Mon 26th May, with a special late evening opening until 8pm on Saturday 24th May.
What can you expect?
Visitors will be able to enjoy unique works of art exhibited by both Sally Jennings, a talented Glasgow based painter and print maker, and a highly skilled Morayshire jeweller, Jesse Ball.
Over the weekend, Sally Jennings, in Studio 51, will be demonstrating her methods of painting, drawing and printmaking and Jesse Ball, in Studio 52, will be revealing how she creates her collection of beautiful handmade jewellery.
Our new store within Glenlair Steading will also be open daily from 10am to 5.30pm daily for free tastings of our unique range of handmade, sustainable food and drink.
Our favourite Demijohn Cocktails and Mocktails will be available to purchase, as well as a pop up Cafe serving teas, coffees, home baking and more.
