Dunoon Burgh Hall

Argyll & Bute

Victorian Horticultural Shows
On Saturday 21 September only we are running a special event to celebrate Horticultural Shows of the past as part of our 150th Anniversary celebrations.

Inspired by the annual show of ‘Dunoon and District Horticultural Society’, ‘nurserymen, gardeners and amateurs from Dunoon, Blairmore, Rothesay, Carbeth and Greenock’ presented their work in this highly competitive display in Dunoon Burgh Hall every year. Fruit and vegetables, cut flowers and pot plants were beautifully presented on our stage and under the balcony. We want to host a re-interpretation of these events with the following activities available: 
 
•    A display of fruit, veg and flowers from local growers 
•    Creative fruit and flowers workshop by local artist for children and young people
•    Dunoon Goes Pop will be launching their heritage inspired rhubarb drink
•    The Dunoon Players will be performing a newly written piece inspired by this heritage
•    musical entertainment
•    Information panels on display from the heritage research project.
•    Artwork created by schools .

A guided tour will begin at 11am from the front door of Dunoon Burgh Hall.
