I hear that the Skateraw Hall in Newtonhill is holding an open weekend.

It runs on Saturday and Sunday (5 and 6 March) from 2pm to 4pm.

There will be a display of the history of the hall plus past events and also a presentation of current groups and activities.

Of course it is only a couple of months since the Skateraw Hall transferred from private ownership and it now belongs to the village, thanks to fund-raising and grants.

Skateraw Hall trustees will be pleased to welcome everyone … do come along.
