The Forres Heritage Trust which looks after two buildings in Forres, the Tolbooth and Nelson's Tower, relies completely on its volunteers to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
From running and setting up events, to restoration projects, to meeting and greeting visitors, to securing funding, these buildings would not be available for the public to enjoy. Let's show our appreciation for the FHT volunteers.

Looking for a fun family day out in Forres? 🌳🍦🐉

Grant Park is packed with things to see and do! Let the kids burn off some energy in the play park before treating everyone to a delicious ice cream from Mathers. Then it's time for an adventure – can you find all four of the carved wooden sculptures hidden around the park? 👀

Take a moment to admire the stunning floral displays created by the amazing Forres in Bloom team and wander through the beautiful sunken gardens. 🌸

Ready for the next adventure? Head up Cluny Hill, where you'll come face to face with a dragon, before climbing the steps to Nelson's Tower. Your reward? Spectacular panoramic views across Moray that are well worth the climb! 🌄

Fun, fresh air, adventure and beautiful scenery – all in one unforgettable day out! ✨
