Friday March 23 - Craigdarroch Castle

Aluu AlFrescoes!. This Friday March 23 2018, we are painting around Craigdarroch Castle. A map showing directions to the Castle can be found by clicking  here .

There is some parking on site, however, please do not overfill the lot. Leave 10 spots for regular Castle visitors. There is street parking as well. Unfortunately, there are no public washrooms available to us in the Castle, but there is a Shell gas station at Fort and Yates, at the end of Joan Crescent.

We will meet at the Southwest corner of the parking lot at Noon (see image below) for our Show'n'Tell.
