A Fèis is an opportunity for individuals to come together to develop skills in the Gaelic arts – song, dance, drama and traditional music – on a wide range of instruments. Tuition is accessible and fun but professional and effective.

Is e Fèis cothrom do dhaoine tighinn còmhla gus na sgilean aca sna h-ealain Gàidhlig a leasachadh-òrain, dannsa, dràma, agus ceòl thraidiseanta air iomadh seòrsa ionnstramaid. Tha an teagasg fosgailte do na h-uile agus spòrsail, ach tha e cuideachd proifeiseanta agus èifeachdach.

Fèis Fhoirt has been in operation for three years now. We offer tuition in Gaelic arts to young people aged 8 – 18 at our twice yearly fèisean, our weekly Saturday classes in the Tolbooth, Stirling, and our monthly band workshops. This is our first ever adult Fèis, brought about at the request of parents who wanted to experience what their children were enjoying so much.

Tha Fèis Fhoirt air a bhith dol 'o chionn trì bliadhna. Tha sinn a tathann oideachadh
ann ealain Gàidhlig do'n òigridh eadar ochd agus ochd-deug bliadhna dh'àois
dà uair 's a bhliadhna aig na Fèisean, gach seachdainn air Di-Sathairne anns an Tolbooth
ann a' Sruighlea agus gach mios aig na bùthan-obrach air son còmhlain.
Is i seo a cheud fhèis inbheach againn an dèidh iarrtas bho na pàrantan eòlas
fhaighinn air na bha còrdadh ris a' chloinn.
