Fair Friday: Going Doon The Watter

About Fair Friday: Going Doon The Watter

The whole family can enjoy a trip down memory lane! Celebrating Scottish summer holidays through film, soundscapes, and art activities.

The Moving Image and Sound Archive are opening their doors this July for a fun packed afternoon for families. This event celebrates Scotland's tradition of going "doon the watter" in the summer. What better way to celebrate this than on Fair Friday itself?

There will be films from our collection showing in the auditorium, and holiday inspired arts and crafts activities. Two very special guests, Sandy and June, will also entertain visitors through storytelling, games and song.

You need to book a place to visit the arts and craft workshop space. You do not need to book for the rest of the activities.
