“Biggar Links”, a community art project based around a simple continuous line knot motif designed to celebrate the strength and support which has shone through the community in recent challenging times. The design is an ancient and historic one found in Scottish Celtic art dating back more than a thousand years. It can symbolise continuity, and history, linking past and future and unbreakable bonds. It is also quite easy to draw, based on an equilateral triangle and three semi circles.

It can be made in any material or on any scale and we are encouraging people to share their creativity both through photographs online, #biggarlinks, and by making and displaying as many Biggar Links pieces as possible in gardens or on windowsills, for a community art trail throughout Biggar and the surrounding area in July during the run up to Biggar Little Picnic (31st July & 1st August) event, but pieces can be made earlier.

Lessons range from 1/2 hour individual, 1/2 hour group to 1 hour individual and 1 hour group in an enclosed, outdoor school.

We have a strong emphasis on improvement, safety and enjoyment.

We work at the riders own pace to build confidence and improve riding skills.

We are still at the planning stage but the idea is to welcome as many people as possible to enjoy music from a host of local performers, in what we hope will be two days of sunshine in lovely surroundings. 

All ages are welcome at what we trust will be a treat for all the family. There will be some catering on site however we are encouraging people to bring their own picnic and simply sit in the sun with family and friends listening to some great music. What could be better after being locked down for the last year!

NEW class starting Biggar Sports Centre, Wednesday nights 6.15pm – 6.45pm

Please book via the sports centre.

Members and non members can also book via: 01899 222066

You can book classes a week in advance.

You don’t have to be especially fit, skinny (or willing to
shoehorn yourself into lycra) to benefit from these classes! All that’s needed
is an openness to different ways of working with the breath, body and mind. We
explore mantra, philosophy, breathwork, meditation and mindful movement – finishing
up with a deep relaxation or yoga nidra. The aim here is not to “nail poses”,
but to find kind and supportive ways to ease into a connected relationship with
your own body, spirit and mind. As a curious side effect, maybe you’ll become stronger,
better balanced or more flexible along the way!
