Jubilee and Jazz!


Unless you have been living on the moon you will have seen the country in preparation for the Queen's Jubilee and as you have probably guessed we are not ones to miss out on a celebration!

The weekend of the Royal Jubilee is going to be really busy and we hope you can join us in our celebrations! On Saturday 2nd June we will be taking part in the Taste of Grampian event- read our recent blog post to find out what we have in store for all the foodies out there! Taste of Grampian Blog Post

The same weekend, Inverurie Jazz Festival will bring to the town jazz performers and bands from across Scotland on 1st - 3rd of June and we'll be taking to the streets on Sunday to join in on the fun by selling ice cream to the visitors!

Then on Monday 4th June, which is a local holiday, we're turning the clocks back in The Dairy Tearoom by 'going vintage' to mark the Queen's Jubilee. You can expect to be transported to the 1950's with a themed menu for the day- keep an eye on our Facebook page for an extra special offer!

What are you planning on doing for the Jubilee? Will you be getting some bunting out whilst you enjoy some tea and Victoria Sponge cake?
