Glen Urquhart Public Hall

The hall sits right in Drumnadrochit, a proper working theatre that pulls in proper talent for the Highlands. It's the sort of place where you'll catch anything from touring productions to local amateur dramatics - nothing fancy, just genuine community theatre with actual shows worth your evening. The building itself is functional rather than fancy, but that's not the point. The point is what happens on stage.

You'll want to check their website for what's on before you visit - the programme changes seasonally and it's not the kind of venue with something on every night. Families with older kids will get more from it than younger ones, and if you're into theatre rather than just looking for something to do on a wet afternoon, you'll appreciate what they're putting on. It's the sort of place that matters to the community.

If you're staying at one of the nearby glamping spots - Loch Ness Glamping is just over two miles away, or the caravan club site at Loch Ness Shores if you've got a tent - the hall gives you a proper night out without driving far. Pop into Drumnadrochit for a meal beforehand. It breaks up a holiday spent mainly outdoors and reminds you that even in remote Highland corners, there's cultural life happening. Worth checking the schedule before you book your accommodation.
