Demijohn's Big Spring Weekend at Glenlair Steading will take place from Sat 23rd to Mon 25th May 2026 this year.
Now in its third year, our Big Spring Weekend will have more exhibiting artists and activities than in 2025.
This popular event is free to attend and is a celebration of fine art, as part of our local Spring Fling Open Studios Event, and the very best of local food and drink.
