Ashbourne Highland Gathering
Stalls, Shows & Trader Information
Besides mobile units supplying a variety of fast foods, drinks and ices, 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.
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.
