Cumulative Impact Reports
2026-01-24 12:00 - 16:00
ACC have arranged an important event at the Ardross Community Hall on Saturday 24th January.
A few months ago we commissioned two expert reports on the ‘Cumulative Impact’ of proposed energy infrastructure schemes on our community. We hope to use these as part of our submissions when responding to individual projects, as and when they make their way through the planning process.
We do not intend to publish these reports on the Ardross website but instead, we are holding an open session at the hall on Saturday 24th January from 12 noon until 4pm where members of the community can come and read the reports and provide comments to us before there are finalised.
Please come along to this session as your views are really valuable to us.

Community Benefit Trust Community Consultation & Local Place Plan Feedback
2026-04-25 14:00 - 18:00
📅 Saturday 25th April⏰ Drop in anytime between 2:00pm and 6:00pm
Residents are warmly invited to attend the first community consultation open day to explore the possibility of establishing a Community Benefit Trust for Ardross.
The ideas and ambitions identified through the Local Place Plan have shown a clear desire for future community projects, improved facilities and long-term development. This consultation is the first step in discussing whether a new structure could help deliver those aspirations.
A Community Benefit Trust, set up as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), could provide the legal and financial framework needed to access larger funding opportunities, manage community assets, and support bigger projects for Ardross.
This event is an opportunity to:

Find out what a Community Benefit Trust is
Learn why it is being explored
Ask questions
Share your views
Help shape the next stage of consultation

This is not a decision-making event, but the beginning of an open community conversation that will continue over the coming months before any vote takes place later this year.
Residents of all ages are encouraged to come along, take part and help shape the future direction of Ardross.
You will also have the opportunity to read the latest version of the Local Place Plan, the next stage is sharing this plan with the neighbouring community councils and the Highland Council so it is important it reflects the community views correctly.
Your voice matters, and the future direction of the community will be decided by its residents.

The Golden Spurtle (PG) - Film Club
2026-05-09 18:30 - 21:00
On Saturday May 9th Ardross Community Cinema will be showing The Golden Spurtle. (PG). This is based on the annual porridge making championships in Carrbridge and is a funny and engaging film about local people doing something they love – in this case it’s mixing oatmeal, water and salt… whether you love or loath porridge (there are some) you will enjoy this film with “endearing salt- of-the-earth subjects, a lovely ebb and flow and a tone that feels just right”. Guardian 4 star review.
Dagger Gordon will perform his now famous ‘Porridge Rap’ at 7pm just before the film and there will be more live music from Dagger after the film to enjoy while socialising with cake and tea/coffee. And, possibly porridge related snacks. Come along, get the craic and continue to support your very own, local cinema! It promises to be a great evening. 6.30 doors for 7.00pm £5. Tickets on the door or book on Ticketsource. www.ticketsource.com/ardross-community-cinema

A Complete Unknown (15) - Film Club
2026-06-13 18:30 - 21:00
On Saturday June 13th we are showing our last film of this season – A Complete Unknown (15). “New York 1961. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an unknown 19-year old named Bob Dylan from Minnesota arrives in Greenwich Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide.”
It’s a really great film and well worth seeing (several times even!). Guardian 5 Star reviewed – crediting the star Timothy Chalamet with performing with ‘amazing bravado’. And The Voice notes – “A pretty excellent music biopic”.
Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
£5 Tickets on the door
or book on Ticket source www.ticketsource.com/ardross-community-cinema
Cake and tea/coffee available before the film and a chance to catch up afterwards with more cake tea/coffee! Great home baking not to be missed!!
