Iona - Highland Village Museum - Frequent Events - Details

Below is some details on the various events held at the Highland Village. See previous posts or contact the village for dates and time for the events.

A ceilidh or social gathering is a chance to get together to swap stories sing songs and dance the evening away.  These are a great chance to learn about Gaelic history and experience the culture first hand.

A living history program for children (or teens).  This hands on experience gives children a chance to see what life was like for the Gaelic people of the past.  Activities include chores, games, language and of course songs!  Costumes are provided.  Definitely a unique experience. $45 per child.

Come see fresh wool pass through the loom on it's way to becoming blankets and clothing.  In order to make the cloth ready to wear Gaelic people would wet it and beat it.  They would use this time to get together and sing songs in rhythm to help the work pass.  If you have a chance make sure to get out and see a milling frolic.

Interactive games for kids, along the lines of sports with a Gaelic twist.
