2026 Events at The Scottish Crannog Centre
The Crannog is hatching!
Join us on the 4th and 5th of April for our Crannog is Hatching event!
Get ready for a weekend filled with egg-related nonsense. We’ll be weaving our own bird’s nests, painting eggs, and making tiny clay birds to take home as a souvenir of your day.
There will be plenty of egg-related games and silly challenges with chances to win delicious chocolate prizes. Expect fun, laughter, and a whole lot of hatching-themed nonsense for all ages to enjoy!
Come along and celebrate spring with us at the Crannog!
