🌞 You’re Invited: New Craigs Summer Fête 2025

On Wednesday 27th August (1.30–3.30pm), the grounds of New Craigs Hospital will come alive with colour, creativity, and connection — and you’re warmly invited.

Whether you're a third sector organisation, NHS colleague, peer supporter, unpaid carer, friend, family member, or part of the wider community — there’s something for everyone at this relaxed summer gathering.

💬 This is a space to connect, share, and celebrate community-led recovery and wellbeing. It’s also a gentle way to get to know New Craigs outside of a clinical setting — to help make it feel more part of the community, not apart from it.

🧁 Expect:
• Friendly stalls and local organisations
• Creative activities and refreshments
• Opportunities to connect, explore supports, and celebrate inclusion

📍 New Craigs Hospital Grounds & Recreation Hall, Inverness
📅 Wednesday 27 August | 1.30–3.30pm
📩 Want to host a stall or activity? Contact: yvonne.mackenzie2@nhs.scot

Proudly supported by Spirit Advocacy and NHS Highland.

Looking for a weekend activity that’s inclusive, family friendly, affordable, simple, and fun?
Come and try out the track next weekend!

We’re having our next Saturday opening at the end of this month, so if you’ve been unable to come to us during the week, but want to try out our track and some of our cycles, we’d absolutely love to have you here!
As well as the track, we also provide the cycles and the helmets, so all you have to bring is yourself!

We are welcoming people of all abilities, disabilities, and ages, so even if you’ve never cycled before, or haven’t been on a bike for years, we’ll have something for you to try.

All you have to do is call, email, or message us to book an hour long cycle slot, then when you get here we’ll get you on a cycle (or several, you can try as many as you like during your time here!), show you to the track, and leave you to enjoy yourselves.

We ask for £6 per supported person/child, with attending parents or carers using the service free of charge.

We are a non-profit organisation, all proceeds from this event go back into the charity.
