EVENTS 2021

Here are the events we have planned out for 2021 so far - Covid and government regulations allowing!

Stitched Through Time
1 - 15 May 2021

Grantown Museum presents an exhibition of its' collection of reproduction costumes covering the period from the 1750's to the 1920's. Most costumes are recreations of, or inspired by, period costumes seen on TV and in film - Outlander, Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice, Young Victoria, The Duchess, Marie Antoinette.
We even have a reproduction of the Isabella MacTavish Fraser wedding gown held by Inverness Museum - except ours is made up in Clan Grant tartan (of course!)
There are 20 costumes in all, which have been made in silk, wool, linen & cotton - in creating the costumes we have tried to be as authentic as possible (except for boning - we used modern polyester, not whalebone).
You can even try on the costumes - grown up dressing up!
Checkout our Adventures in Costume page.

There are Latin, Spanish, Gypsy, Jazz and Delta Blues influences throughout, and often within one seamless stream of perfection. ​

Sarah McQuaid
​Friday 13 May 2022

Folk Concert - 7pm
​Doors 6.30pm - Tickets £12
The museum is proud to present the folk singer and songwriter Sarah McQuaid. Her award-winning musicianship, distinctive chocolatey vocals and mastery of the songwriting craft have led reviewers to describe Sarah McQuaid as a “triple threat”. Add to that a warm, charismatic stage presence, five critically acclaimed solo albums and a battery of instruments including acoustic and electric guitars, drum and piano — and you’ve got a one-woman powerhouse who defies categorisation because there simply isn’t anyone else out there quite like her. Not to be missed!
