Welcome to BIG 2019

The Black Isle Gathering is a biennial all-day indoor 'street market' for community groups, small businesses, craft workers, churches, charities, societies, associations, sports clubs etc which will take over the entire ground floor of Fortrose Academy on SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019.

If you have any queries, please contact us via the website contact page.

BIG is as free as we can make it, but we ask for a donation from stallholders and buskers who are able to contribute towards the costs of hiring Fortrose Academy and event promotion.  This year we are asking for this in advance, see application form for details

See news pages for the latest info on this year's BIG and our Q and A pages for frequently asked questions.

TBI at BIG 2019

The Apple Press will be outside the main entrance from 11.00 to 3.30.  Bring your apples and bottles and be prepared to help chop apples and work the press.

Julian Paren will be leading a talk and discussion on the theme of 'Climate Change and a response from Scotland' twice during the day, from 12.00 - 12.30 and 2.00 - 2.30, in classroom 11.

Drastic Plastic will have an interactive display for young people.

We will have an information and sales stall 'at the back of reception' - so fairly close to the apple press.
