Winter Community Day at Groam House Museum

Free
Tuesday 24 November 2026, from 2pm
Join us for a welcoming Winter Community Day at Groam House Museum in Rosemarkie. We’re bringing people together for an afternoon of art, creativity, conversation and a little winter warmth.
Although the museum is closed for its regular winter season, we’re opening our doors for this special community gathering. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a regular visitor or discovering the museum for the first time.
Discover our winter community exhibition
Our upstairs gallery will feature a special winter-themed exhibition with contributions from artists and makers.
Winter means something different to everyone. For some, it’s a time of quiet landscapes and changing light. For others, it’s about family traditions, festive celebrations or cosy afternoons indoors.
We’re looking forward to seeing how local people explore these different ideas through their artwork.
Come along, enjoy the exhibition and discover the creativity of our community.
Share your winter memories
Our Winter Community Day is also a chance to spend time together.
Enjoy coffee, cake and conversation while exploring the museum. You can also contribute to our community wall by sharing a favourite winter memory, story or thought.
There will be opportunities to get creative and make some art of your own.
You don’t need to be an artist or bring anything with you. Simply come along and enjoy the afternoon.
A special Pictish art auction
The day also marks the opening of our silent auction featuring 20 original watercolour artworks by museum volunteer Dr Donna McNaughten, FSAScot.
Inspired by carved stones along the Highland Pictish Trail, these small paintings celebrate the remarkable artistic heritage of the Picts.
The artworks will be available to view from approximately 2pm. You’ll have the opportunity to discover the collection and find out more about the auction.
You can also read about the inspiration behind Donna’s artworks.
Come and spend the afternoon with us
Our museum belongs to the community, and we’re delighted to welcome everyone back for this winter gathering.
Whether you come for the artwork, the conversation or simply a cup of coffee, we’d love to see you.
You can also explore our other events to discover what’s happening at Groam House Museum over the coming weeks.
We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday 24 November, from 2pm!
