Festival 2022

Remembrance Ceilidh

Organised by Creativity in Care

A flyer for the event decorated with a black-and-white photo of a family and a pink background. The text provides the same event details as the listing.

Wednesday November 2nd from 1:30pm

The Ceilidh Place Clubhouse Venue (opposite the hotel/cafe, Ullapool)

This event includes music by Martin Gilligan and afternoon tea.

People and pets who have died remain a part of our lives – their stories are our stories. Over the past few months people in Ullapool have been creating remembrance journals and sharing stories. The festival ‘To Absent Friends’ gives people across Scotland an excuse to remember, to celebrate and to reminisce.

Participants, along with Creativity In Care and An Talla Solais will be invited to make a remembrance collage of things that remind us of people and pets we have loved.

If you would like to submit a photograph, an image, recipe, poem, place names, map, or song lyrics that remind you of someone you have loved, for the collage, please send to karrie@creativityincare.org or mhairi@antallasolais.org and share your story.

If you want to bring something for us to scan and print for the collage, we can do that in Ullapool on Wednesday 26th October from 1:30pm-5:30pm at the Unit 3, behind Highland Stoneware (look for Balloons).

You are also most welcome to bring a photograph or item on the Remembrance Ceilidh Day (November 2nd) to help share your story.

This year they have been working with An Tallas Solais and families in Ullapool towards this event. The collage will be displayed at An Talla Solais during November 2022.
