The sixth annual 5 Latha (5 Days) will be held this year at the Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis, between 10 and 15 April 2017.
The residential event gives Gaelic speaking participants of high school age the opportunity to spend five days in a community where Gaelic is used naturally and in which crofting, fishing and the Harris Tweed industry play an important part in the lives of its residents.
Each day participants will have the opportunity to gain a hands-on experience of these traditional works, spending time with experienced individuals who show them what is involved in their daily routines from lambing, looking after cattle, fishing, peat cutting to producing Harris Tweed. The participants will also have the opportunity to learn some traditional recipes through practical cookery sessions using locally sourced ingredients.
Though a musical ability is not essential to attend 5 Latha, music and song workshops will be held throughout the week delivered by leading Gaelic musicians.
