Restored by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (see The Restoration), the Pavilion is now a stunning venue for all sorts of functions and events:

    • Click here to see what's on at the Pavilion

    • Click here for Weddings - on this page, you can see that weddings at the Pavilion are very special

    • Click here for Conferences - the Pavilion is increasingly in demand as a venue for conferences, meetings and other corporate events

    • Also see our Performing Arts page for a list of people who have already performed here - and who usually can't wait to come back to Strathpeffer and the Pavilion!

The Pavilion houses the acclaimed RedPoppy Restaurant, where you can have a meal before the show (but we strongly advise you to book in advance).  NB:  RedPoppy is closed on Mondays at present, and is also closed over Christmas and New Year from lunchtime on Tuesday 23rd.


Strathpeffer

Strathpeffer is in the former county of Ross & Cromarty, which crosses the Highlands from east coast to west, with spectacular scenery. In the centre of the county, Strathpeffer is an ideal base for exploring the area and, because of its unusual spa history, the village offers an extensive choice of visitor accommodation.

Joanne Thompson, who came to see the Kaiser Chiefs at the Pavilion, took this stunning photo of the Pavilion in its garden setting, with one of Allister Brebner's sculptures in the foreground and the mountains behind.  Many thanks to Joanne for giving us permission to publish her picture.

You will find more information about our unique Highland village in the section About Strathpeffer, along with information about where to stayplaces to eat, other things to see and do in Strathpeffer and links to other websites you might find of interest. 

Work in the Pavilion

Most of the Pavilion staff are part-time - we always need occasional staff for the bar, as stewards and as general assistants for evening and weekend events.  If you would like to work in the Pavilion, get in touch with the SPA office in the Pavilion, or you can print out an application form  from this website.   

We would also love to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer to help with events in the Pavilion!

Have you Danced at the Pavilion?

Do you remember the dances, the concerts, the Highland Cabaret?  If so, please share your memories with us, as a number of people have already done in our Guestbook.  People all over the North and beyond have fond memories of events in the Pavilion.  Why not take a look at Arthur Scott's fascinating website  The Strath, where he lists all the performers in the Pavilion from 1960 to 1979.

  Strathpeffer Pavillion is not how to spell us (too many "els") but I am putting this in just so that people who use the wrong spelling will still find us!  Maybe I had better mention Strathpepher too, for the same reason.  Or even Stratphepeffer - a very creative effort by Declan Nerney's Webmaster!  Perhaps there are also people who need help on how to spell Ross-shire (which I have just seen written as "Rothshyr"!) or Ross & Cromarty
