May has delighted us with the arrival of some very welcome warmer days and signals the start of the Summer Events Season. Several Perthshire Artisans are participating in a variety of events across the area and further afield over the coming months.
This post shares where you can find them, enjoy chatting and seeing their fabulous work in person, as well as planning a day out!
From Highland Games, Arts & Crafts Markets, Exhibitions to The Garden Fair and Potfest Scotland at Scone Palace, there are plenty to choose from.
