Arts
Our Celtic experience is not a spectator sport – it is an open invitation to be immersed in the Celtic arts through learning and participating.
Whether you have always wanted to learn to play an instrument like the fiddle or you’d like to make your own Celtic inspired jewelry, we invite you to jump into our Celtic arts.
Dive deep into a week-long program at Colaisde na Gàidhlig (the Gaelic College) or enjoy an afternoon workshop at the Celtic Colours International Festival. From traditional crafts to whisky tasting, there is a wide range of Celtic arts for you to experience.
