 Grateful thanks to those shopkeepers who kindly sell tickets for Pavilion events, currently June's in Dingwall and the Music Shop in Church Street Inverness (music events only).
Please NOTE that the shops that are selling tickets will NOT take telephone bookings nor accept credit cards - they are kindly selling tickets as a service to the Pavilion. Credit card purchases can usually be made on thebooth (see below) or by telephone to the Pavilion office. Many thanks for your continued support and co-operation.
