Ashbourne Highland Gathering
Stalls, Shows & Trader Information
Besides mobile units supplying a variety of fast foods, drinks and ices
(to tender for these services apply
here), we
have around 60 market/exhibition stalls providing a wide range of goods for sale
from kilts to kettles, plants to pictures, and sweets to sweaters to name but a
few.
For the more energetic visitor there are plenty of games, inflatables, a helter
skelter, mini roundabouts, and the opportunity to try your target shooting
skills at paintball, darts, and football.
CRAFT MARQUEE
For the specialist, a large Craft Marquee holding up to 30 stallholders with a
wide variety of trades. See the Contact Us Page for contact information.
THE INFORMATION CENTRE
For
two days before the Gathering those preparing the showground use the Information
Centre as an operations unit.
On Event Day itself the Information Centre personnel provide information on any
subject to do with the Gathering, and if they don't have the information
requested they are likely to know a man (or woman) who does!
The Information Centre also acts as a hub for welcoming Gathering Members and
their guests, and for selling grandstand tickets, souvenir badges and
programmes.
In addition, is a central point for collating Lost & Found information,
(sometimes even for lost little people), and is where Traders come if they need
assistance with any difficulties during the Event.
