Orkney Islands Council are hosting Orkney Matters 2 in Stromness on Monday 10th.

The meeting takes place in the John Rae room at the Warehouse Buildings, starting at 7.30pm. All are welcome to join and share what matters to you!

Orkney Matters 2 follows on from Orkney Matters, a community engagement programme held in 2020-21 which saw partners from across the Orkney Partnership meet with communities across Orkney to identify key issues to these areas.
Orkney Matters 2 will pick up the conversation where Orkney Matters 1 left off with everyone invited to take part and subjects identified which will be of most importance to each community.

Well the festival is upon us again 😊 over the next 3 days we’ll be offering a takeaway menu, same style as last year. If there are seats available you’re more than welcome to sit in. This worked well last year to cope with the sheer numbers of hungry folk enjoying the festival. We will be offering specials like mussels, crab, Scallops etc once we receive our order. We will be opening 12-7 Friday Saturday Sunday. Thankyou and have a good one 😊
