Event Description
Come and have a go at Scotlands oldest national sport.
It is a full contact, stick and ball team sport. We will provide sticks and helmets and will show you the basic skills.
Anyone is welcome to join, bring shinpads and football boots if you have them.
This will be on grass.
We'll go over the basic skills of the game through relaxed drills before a fun, friendly game. While shinty is a contact sport, we always move at your pace and comfort levels in taster sessions.
No changing facilities available.
