Alongside delivering a programme of art and performance events St. Margaret’s has a strong commitment to supporting learning and development opportunities for all age groups across music and visual art.
As a venue for workshops, the building provides an inspirational space with excellent acoustics and the necessary facilities. It is conveniently located in the centre of the village of Braemar where break-out spaces can be hired.
