Rainy Day Picks This Weekend in Alford (Aberdeenshire)
10 picks around Alford (Aberdeenshire), from 3 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.
25–26 July Near Alford (Aberdeenshire)

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.
